Information about Canada Working Holiday Visa
This visa helps young people from Canada come to New Zealand. You can apply for this visa if you’re a citizen of Canada and you have at least NZ $4,200 to live on during your stay. While you’re here, you can study and work while you enjoy your holiday.
You can
- Choose to apply for a 12 or 23 month visa.
- Work in New Zealand for up to 23 months, depending on the length of the visa you apply for.
- Study or train for up to 6 months in total.
Things to note
- You can’t accept a permanent job.
- If you apply for a 23-month visa, you must provide a General Medical Certificate.
- If you choose a 12-month visa and decide you want to stay longer, you can apply later for the balance of the 23-month period.
- You can’t bring children with you on a working holiday. If you have a partner who wants to come to New Zealand, they’ll need to apply for their own visa.
