Basic information and guidance on the IEC WHV
Hello, I'm from Spain, 25, no work experience, currently doing an unpaid traineeship in Italy where the theme is on brown bear conservation, involving stuff such as using camera traps to monitor them.
Similarly, I have always been fascinated by the nature of Canada - its mountains, boreal forests, and of course, the bears, and this traineeship is a reflection of the job that I want.
However, no such job has appeared yet, and I'm in talks with people in the field. Thus, I'm really thinking of applying for a WHV to get there, get a basic job as a warehouse worker, and while being present in Canada, speak to biologists in person, which can potentially increase my chances of getting a bear related job.
Here's my inquiry. Are there specific and legitimate portals or boards where aspiring foreigners, particularly those eligible for an OWP, can visit for jobs they can apply for?
Could you also please share with me what you all have done there, just so I can get an idea?
Secondly, how did you find a house? And do you live in shared homes?
I have my eyes set on BC and Alberta.
