InterExchange

The IEC Working Holidays process can be daunting when you are first researching it. Ashley Ragus and the rest of the team at InterExchange made the whole process so seamless and easy to understand, from start to finish. Ashley is so supportive, kind, and extremely communicative. We met with her a number of times and she and the rest of the team guided us through every step of the process so we never felt confused. The instructions that InterExchange provided were super clear and easy to follow. Deadlines and triple-checking everything in your application is super important. It's also important to take all of pre-border crossing prep work seriously, and do it right – you will thank yourself later. It's been a dream of ours for a long time to live and work in Canada, and it feels surreal to be experiencing that now - thanks to InterExchange. I highly recommend InterExchange – 10/10 experience. Thank you Ashley and team!

When I first looked into acquiring a IEC Working Holiday visa I as admittedly a little overwhelmed by what seemed like an overload of information and documentation that would be required from me in order to successfully immigrate in Canada. From the very first time we spoke, Ashley Ragus made what felt like a very daunting process at the start feel incredibly seamless and simple by the end. I am so appreciative for her support along the way, and I am looking forward to working with her again when I reapply for 2027. Thanks for everything Ashley, you rock!

I am one of the person who like travelling Becouse this is one of my hobby. My adventuring to different part of the world is eneygezied or inspired by the love of embracing the diversity of culture. So fur i filled or i enriched with diverse culture due i have travel a cross the country, further my studies in Ugandai had also travel to the Philippines as a missionary teacher with the youth and community epowerment programs.

As a youth leader passionate about Quality Education (SDG 4), I have actively worked to create inclusive learning opportunities in my community. I organize community study groups and skill-building workshops, especially for girls and marginalized youth, to bridge educational gaps. By collaborating with local schools and NGOs, we provide mentorship and access to learning materials, fostering a supportive environment that empowers young people to reach their potential. Moving forward, I plan to launch digital literacy programs to equip youths with critical skills for the future workforce, ensuring no one is left behind in our fast-changing world. Through these efforts, I aim to inspire sustainable growth by nurturing informed, confident young leaders who will drive positive change in Kano and beyond.

It is rare that you have a customer service experience that feels so special it makes you want to go out of your way to get other people to experience it. It is even harder to make a customer experience feel special when there no face to face interaction, but Ashley from interexchange seemed to have no problem at all. From the jump she was responsive, helpful, and kind. Whenever I had a question or concern about the process she either answered it thoroughly, or pointed me in the direction of someone who could. Deadlines are super important when it comes to visas as well as attention to detail and these guys know their craft! Not only were the application instructions clear and thorough, but the staff followed up when there were changes or questions asked to make sure that everything was done correctly and I had all of the information that I needed. Someone give Ashley a raise!

I had a great time working with different type of people, increased my ability of multi-cultural environment and adaptability. Developed my collaboration and be ables me to learn new things in my life.

Ashley was extremely helpful and supportive throughout the process. As many that are possibly looking into this program that are brand new to this process, as I was. She was very helpful, informative, patient, and supportive throughout the process. If there was a question I had, if she didn't have the direct answer, she at least was able to steer me into the right direction to find one. I recommend this program to all but especially those who are new to looking to work, temporarily live, have extended vacation, etc within Canada. Their program makes it very simple to go through this process. Cost is a factor as well. As the program is cheap to me due to the simplicity, helpfulness, patience, and guidance. So it may be expensive to others but I feel like the service you get is definitely worth the cost.

Honestly speaking, I've never been abroad or anywhere outside South Africa, and that's my goal,to explore the world,to be adventurous and grow in learning more about the world and people from different parts of the world.

Ashley has been such a huge help in guiding me through the work visa application process. the process can be a bit confusing and complicated and im so glad i had her support. she was so kind and patient and made the whole procedure so much less stressful! im very grateful for her assistance and highly recommend her to others in the InterExchange program if you're looking for help with the work visa application process! :)

I had a fantastic experience! All of my questions were answered quickly and thoroughly. The whole team made an overwhelming process very smooth and manageable. The helpful team was absolutely the highlight of the program for sure. I went through the process to live and work in Canada from the United States. I was able to move to a town that I had already been to and had connections in the community. I didn't utilize any of the housing resources but it was nice to know that it was an option.I would highly recommend!

Libby and James at Interexchange have made the whole process as smooth and clear as possible. They answer emails quickly and take the time to explain what needs to be done for the applications for work holiday and what happens afterwards. I appreciate their help so much!

I have been waiting to go abroad for three years—since COVID-19 shut down borders—and I can happily say that my experience with InterExchange was exactly what I hoped it would be. It was fun, informative, our guide Colin was great, my fellow travelers were fun, and of course Costa Rica was gorgeous.

With obvious skepticism at first with not knowing anyone or much of the itinerary prior to the trip, the trip ends up exceeding expectations about it all. For future travelers, you should not worry despite how you feel at the beginning. I learned more than I would’ve expected and will remember this trip forever

Best trip of my life. Everybody was awesome. Collin was amazing. Living with the Bri Bri community was awesome. Made good friends. I liked how full the schedule was. There was never a dull moment and we were always doing something.

This was one of the best travel abroad programs I've been on. The group was one of the best and our group leader was amazing. I was really able to experience new things in a way that I would have never been able if I had traveled independently. Everything seemed well organized and everyone was accessible. As someone who often has trouble getting out of their comfort zone this was a really supportive trip and I would definitely do a program like this again.

I was so pleased with this program’s balance between educational and adventurous activities. I grew a closer relationship with the earth, which is what I hoped to gain from this trip, while feeling like I was on vacation as well. Each organization/group/person who spoke to us about local environmental issues showed genuine enthusiasm for what they do and taught us immensely valuable information that I will be able to carry with me forever. Our trip leader organized all activities in such a way that made me feel like a traveler rather than a tourist. I could tell that Colin, the trip leader, wanted each of us to get the most out of this experience and he definitely helped us achieve that! From casual bike rides along the coast to planting trees within an indigenous community, everything served its purpose of connecting me more deeply to this beautiful world we live in.

I’m so thankful I got the opportunity to do this trip. Personally for me this trip was life changing. I feel so accomplished and can’t wait to travel in the future. This program really does a good job of combining education and fun!

I really enjoyed the experience of traveling to Costa Rica. It was a great way to learn more about Costa Rica and the ways in which the country is working to increase sustainability and environmental awareness. I enjoyed the different activities. They were both fun and educational. Also, I met a wonderful group of people and had an amazing leader that made me feel comfortable and excited! The housing, travel, and food were all of a good standard and made the trip even better!

This trip was so well done and I throughly enjoyed every moment in Costa Rica! We were able to see & do so much and learn a lot about the culture of Costa Rica! I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to have the experience of a lifetime.
