SWAP Working Holidays

SWAP Working Holidays SWAP helps Canadians live, work, volunteer, teach, and intern abroad. We make it easy to live out your travel dreams!

SWAP is a designated organization of the Government of Canada's International Experience Canada (IEC) program. SWAP Working Holidays is Canada's largest exchange organization and we'll make your work and travel goals a reality. First, we'll assist you in getting your visa paperwork done correctly and we give you all the pre-departure guidance you need to be prepared to live abroad. When you arrive

in your new country (we have programs in 13 of them), we'll teach you everything you need to know about living and working there, from our local professional staff. We'll help with getting your bank account and Social Insurance Number equivalent set up so you're ready to work properly and legally. You'll get assistance in finding a job and a safe place to live. One of our most popular features is hosting social events so that you can meet other like-minded travellers (your future friends and roommates). Let us take care of the details so you can live your best life. We make sure that you'll have a great time living abroad, experiencing unique adventures, and having the best working holiday on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

✈️ NEW country alert, scholarship opportunity, and a chance to get paid?!

We’ve just launched an epic new program in South Korea 🇰🇷—think K-pop, kimchi, and unforgettable adventures. Plus, we’re calling on Canadians to help shape the future of work & travel with our Youth Advisory Panel (aka YAP).

But wait... there's more.

Say hello to the **Youth Access Scholarship Fund** 💸🌍
We’re giving out **25 grants of \$1,000 CAD** to help young Canadians (18–35) start their SWAP adventure in epic places like Ireland, Japan, or Australia. If you’re from a lower-income or underrepresented community and dreaming of living abroad, this is for you.

👀 If any of these opportunities catch your eye, SWAP is for you. Slide into our DMs to learn more!

Let's talk travel regrets. We all have them! Whether you forgot your passport on the way to the airport (guilty) or got on the wrong train and ended up in a completely different city. There is so much that goes into international travel, especially when you are doing a Working Holiday!

At SWAP, we are travel experts. We help you navigate everything before you take off, and we're there to support you the whole time you're abroad. Don't know how to apply for a visa? We do. Unsure about which medical insurance to buy? We've got you covered there, too, along with job and housing assistance!

With SWAP, your only regret will be that you didn't travel sooner. If you are a Canadian between the ages of 18 and 35 now is the time! Just take Samatha's advice and head over to swap.ca today!
