A Working Holiday, or a Work and Travel experience. Stepabroad is a Recognized Organization by the Government of Canada, providing Canadians with enriching, life-changing travel and work abroad experiences through International Experience Canada (IEC). Travel/work opportunities abroad give you the perfect balance between adventure, independence, and financial freedom.

That really depends on you! Craving vast wilderness, pristine coastlines, and unique wildlife? Australia or New Zealand could be your next wild destination. Drawn to centuries-old traditions, diverse culinary experiences, or learning a new language? Explore Spain, Japan, France, or South Korea. The UK could be your launchpad for European discovery, urban vibrancy, and centuries of history! Let us help you find the destination that ignites your interests with one of the most life-changing opportunities that you will talk about for years!

Absolutely! Stepabroad helps you secure paid opportunities abroad, transforming your travel dreams into a financially sustainable adventure. Instead of spending your savings backpacking, you’ll earn money as you go!

The International Experience Canada (IEC) program allows Canadian youth aged 18-35 (or 18-30 depending on destination) to work and travel abroad in over 35 partner countries and territories. At Stepabroad, we offer programs to many of the best destinations available to Canadians. With a Working Holiday Visa, participants can live like locals, work to fund their travels, and stay longer than a typical tourist.

You can work and travel in tons of cool places! Stepabroad currently offers programs in Australia, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, Spain, France, and the United Kingdom. Each of these top countries for travel and overseas jobs for Canadians has its own vibe, so pick your adventure (or two)!

Canadian youth are currently loving these incredible Working Holiday destinations:

Australia & New Zealand: Think endless summer, breathtaking nature, and meeting people from all over the world — they’re among the world’s top working holiday destinations.

Japan & South Korea: Your portal to cutting-edge culture and ancient traditions.

Spain/France: Savour rich European heritage, world-class cuisine, and the chance to truly learn a new language.

The UK: Great for those seeking a destination where English is the first language and a strategic base for continent-wide adventures.

Yep! Most Working Holiday Visas are for Canadians aged 18–35, but some countries (like Japan) cap it at 30. The idea is to travel while you’re young and free, so take advantage while you can!
