Bunac has a range of working holidays in Canada for British passport holders aged 18 to 35 and US students aged 18 to 30.

Participants can live and work in Canada for three to twelve months. They also have the opportunity to travel throughout North America.

Bunac provides job listings. Typical jobs include ski resort rep, shop assistant and hotel receptionist. You can work anywhere in Canada, but popular destinations are Toronto, Vancouver and Alberta.

The organisation says placements allow you to discover a different culture, gain new skills for your CV and meet new friends.

The British Universities North America Club also runs schemes in the US, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Africa and Latin America. For details see: www.bunac.org
