Thinking of working overseas when you graduate Canadian visas out today! University of Manchester Careers Blog If you are considering working internationally at all when you graduate, you may be interested to know that Canadas International Experience initiative involving the allocation of working holiday style visas has another quota of visas released today!   (25th February, 2013). This visa is only open to British and Irish passport holders, however. At my Getting Started for Working Abroad session today I mentioned a recent e-shot I received about the visas. Apparently, these visas are popular (with the last release of 1000 visas being snapped up in 15 minutes). Nearly as popular as a ticket to see One Direction   in a room full of teenagers. Heres what I received: Canada work visas in short supply As you may know Canadian Immigration has an annual quota of working holiday style visas under the International Experience Canada initiative and this year interest in the programme has far exceeded anyones expectations. The online visas are being released in three batches. The first 1,000 visa places were released on 14th February and filled within 3 hours of opening. A further 2,000 visa places will open on 25th February and a final 2,350 places are released on 7th March 2013. If any of your students are considering working in Canada this year, either as part of their studies or post college/university, then they are advised to make plans now. More information and useful links here: International Experience Canada visa information   at http://workingholidaystore.com/latest-news/ Working Holiday Store: This e-shot came from The Working Holiday Store, an independent company that provides free,   web based information to students and young people embarking on a working holiday or gap year abroad at: http://www.workingholidaystore.com   which looks quite useful for planning suggestions when you are organising an international experience yourself.
