Anyone from Westjet or Air Canada on the boards who could tell me what the benefits are like with online and offline flights?
I'm getting a bit restless here and was thinking about doing a working holiday to expand my horizons and career opportunities. I have about 20 options (unfortunately USA isn't on of them) so thought Canada or UK.
Canada is cheaper in terms of visa cost, and amount needed to prove you can support yourself ($4000, can be credit card). UK is expensive for the visa and I think you need $5000 to prove you can support yourself. Downside of Canada is less aviation, and no reciprocal health benefits so insurance has to be purchased. No idea what insurance costs, but "not cheap" comes to mind. Everywhere I looks seems to point to travel insurance, which isn't what I think they want exactly.
So basically one pays $190, gets a letter of introduction valid for 1 year so then you can start job searching. Then when you arrive they give you 24months working visa. UK starts the 2 years as soon as you get the visa on lodgement in Australia, so Canada certainly beats them there.
Anyways that's my rant... I really only needed to post they first line, eh?
