This depends on the time of year you are applying. It can take anywhere from 7-30 business days to hear back about your visa. We recommend starting the process no later than 3 months before you depart to allow enough time to gather the necessary documentation and secure a biometrics appointment. Worried about the timeline? Talk to one of our Travel Coordinators today to find out what wait times are looking like at the moment!
If you’re ready to apply for your France Working Holiday Send-Off Program then let’s get started, all you have to do is fill out this application form to Stepabroad for the experience of a lifetime!
The more you can save before you depart, the easier your transition to life in Europe will be! In addition to your proof of funds, we recommend budgeting around $2,000 CAD to cover your flights, travel insurance and arrival accommodation in France. If you plan on travelling a bit before settling down, you should budget at least $500 a week for basic expenses, but more if you are a bit of a flashpacker.
Your initial application will be submitted online, but you will also need to attend an in-person appointment in either Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa or Montreal.
Canadians can work in France for up to 2 years on a Working Holiday Visa. Talk to one of our Travel Coordinators to find out more!
Not if you go with Stepabroad! We will walk you through the visa application process step by step and we will review all your documentation before your in-person appointment to make sure everything is in order.
This is very dependent on where you live. Paris will be very similar to Vancouver or Toronto in terms of rental costs. However, groceries, phone plans and utilities tend to be cheaper in France than here in Canada. Most other cities in France will have much cheaper rental prices, making them more affordable and authentic.
