My experience with Global Work and Travel was fantastic

My experience with Global Work and Travel was fantastic, it was very smooth running and I had a great coordinator helping me every step up along the way. Eimear was always patient, friendly and very knowledgeable in her field of work and I could see she clearly had a passion for her job which made it a lot less stressful for me also. Overall I would 100% recommend using this agency and I also would definitely go back to using them again in the future :)

Sooo glad I opted to go with Global Work & Travel

''Sooo glad I opted to go with Global Work & Travel. They help you every step of the way, any problems I had they were just an email away. I can't Thank Eimear (travel coordinator) enough for her help and support. As this was my first time traveling solo, I didn't feel alone when it came to the important stuff like the paperwork,visa and navigating the flight plan. They provided all the information I needed and even broke it down for me, if I was finding it hard to digest. When it came to it I was sent lots of options of places to apply for and managed to get a job at my 1st choice. So I'm doing a 6 month working holiday in Canada and working at Sunshine Village ski'' We also had orientation today and asked three of the travelers to leave a review on your link so fingers crossed they come through :)

Great, orientation was very informative, Betty was very friendly and helpful Mark was also fantastic via email, phone and video call Housing - 5/5, my accommodation is nicer than I've had working abroad previously Support - 5/5 for Mark, he's always been very friendly and helpful! 4/5 overall - my only negative experience was with someone in the London office Fun - 4/5, pretty good! Just a little difficult to go anywhere outside of Jasper, as there isn't any public transport and I don't have a car Value - 4/5, I'm a bit older and I've worked overseas previously, this is a great extension to that ? Safety - 5/5, I feel very safe Overall - 4.5/5 - Canada is wonderful, Mark was great!

Global has been absolutely terrific making the move overseas to Canada smooth and exciting. Both Brianna and Mark are dead set legends and have been so helpful in making every part of the process so much fun! 10/10 recommend!!!! Mark and Global have been nothing but AMAZING during my working holiday so far. My experience with my current job and staff accommodation has been very challenging however that is no reflection on Mark.

The service received today was extremely informationable

The service received today was extremely informationable and was an eye opener on what Canada has to offer. Mark my travel coordinator has been extremely helpful, but our orientation organiser Tiare has been extremely helpful and welcoming and has made everyone feel at ease. Mark is a superb coordinator and has helped myself and my travelling companion Elicia really well, on our arrival in Canada he made us feel very welcome and at ease, he showed us many things to do and made sure we got settled in. And throughout the months he has remained in contact with support and information about other available job opportunities around Canada, so i would just love to say how much i appreciate him as a coordinator and as a man, he is lovely and caring.

Working Holiday in Canada

I’m from Australia & moved to Canada with Global a year ago. It has honestly been everything I’ve wanted & more. I’m here working in one of the most beautiful towns in the world ‘Banff’ and travelling around whenever I want. Global was amazing every step of the way. They provided with me so many options & made the process so easy & enjoyable. I cannot recommend doing a working holiday enough, it allows you to properly experience the country, events, seasons & lifestyle. Not to mention makes it so much easier to travel around. I just got back from Hawaii a day ago! (Would recommend ?) If you are wanting to experience something new & explore the world, then I would encourage you to do the working holiday as the risk are taken out because Global helps you and has your back throughout the entire experience. Cannot recommend the opportunity Global provides! The question is, would you regret doing it, or not doing it? ? Safe Travels! ?
