Note to Americans Wanting to Work in Canada

Americans can easily visit Canada without a passport; only proof of U.S. citizenship is required. Entering Canada with the intention of working is a different story.

As with all foreign nations, applicants must have the job before they arrive; this can be quite difficult, as the employer must obtain permission from the local Canada Employment Center (CEC). In order to hire a foreigner the employer must prove to the CEC that no qualified Canadian citizens are available to do the job. The majority of jobs found with ski resorts are not specialized enough to qualify under this guideline. The exception is certified ski instruction.

For more information, call or write to the following:

Consulate General of Canada
300 South Grand Avenue, 10th Floor
Los Angeles, CA 90071-3100
(213) 687-7432

Canadian Embassy
501 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W.
Washington, DC 20001-21114
(202) 682-1740

So what should you do if you're not a certified ski instructor? You should choose your favorite Canadian ski resort and go on vacation. Yes, vacation! But instead of asking the employees questions about the best bars and restaurants in town, ask them about getting a job at the resort. This is how most Americans we spoke to obtained their jobs. It should be noted, however, that you should not work for more than one season before going home, as visitors can only stay for six months without a visa or passport. As most ski seasons last about six months, this should be no problem.
