Hello, this is NohProblem Consulting.
Today, we will be discussing the 2025 Canada Working Holiday.
What is a Working Holiday?
A Working Holiday is a program that allows young people from countries that have signed agreements to stay in the host country while engaging in tourism, employment, and language studies, thus experiencing local culture and life.
Currently, South Korea has signed Working Holiday agreements with 24 countries and regions listed below, and youth from these countries can also participate in our Working Holiday program.
The Overseas Koreans Agency plans to expand the Working Holiday program so that our youth can venture into many countries and grow as global talents.
To participate in the Working Holiday, you must apply for a Working Holiday visa at the relevant embassy (or consulate) or immigration office.
This visa is a “tourist work visa” that allows you to travel and work legally in the host country, enabling you to obtain funds for travel through temporary employment.
Since the visa issuance conditions, required documents, and application periods vary by country and region, please choose your destination and carefully review the visa information for that country.
Canada Working Holiday
Last year marked the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and Canada, and the 2024 Canada Working Holiday policy has changed, making the application conditions more flexible.
Unlike the previous condition, where applicants could be up to 30 years old, now the age limit has been extended to 35, and the number of selected applicants has more than doubled.
The selection criteria for the 2025 Canada Working Holiday are expected to be similar to those of 2024.
The 2024 Working Holiday officially ended with the last lottery draw on October 21. It seems likely that the recruitment for the 2025 Working Holiday will open in December, similar to this year.
Since there is a fixed number of selections for the Working Holiday, those considering the 2025 program should prepare in advance to increase their chances of approval.
Advantages of the Canada Working Holiday
There are several reasons why Canada is recommended among Working Holiday countries.
✅ Nature: One of Canada’s great advantages is its beautiful natural scenery. From the Rocky Mountains in Banff to the Northern Lights in Yellowknife and Niagara Falls in Toronto, these stunning landscapes are often on people’s bucket lists, all under a clear sky without worries about fine dust.
✅ Multicultural Country: Canada is a multicultural country, with 45% of its population being immigrants from various nations. This allows you to learn about cultural diversity, and there is relatively less discrimination compared to other countries.
✅ English-speaking: As an English-speaking country, Canada uses a form of English very similar to American English, making it easier for those studying English.
✅ Travel to the U.S.: Located in North America, it is easy to travel to the United States by car or plane across the border.
✅ Opportunity for Canadian Permanent Residency: For those interested in immigration or employment in Canada, you may have heard about the recent suspension of low-wage LMIA. Many people were preparing for Canadian immigration or employment by obtaining a work permit through LMIA. This suspension has made it a bit more challenging to obtain work permits through LMIA. Therefore, for those under 35, the Working Holiday presents a great opportunity to pursue permanent residency.

Why Work with NohProblem?
Many people choose to manage their own Working Holiday applications. However, many face difficulties preparing documents in English and often seek help.
That’s when you should work with us at NohProblem Consulting, a local immigration agency in Canada!
NohProblem Consulting was founded by our immigration attorney, Director Lisa, after experiencing fraud from a study abroad agency in her early twenties and feeling frustrated by some visa agencies. Therefore, we understand our clients’ situations better than anyone and provide services at reasonable prices.
Unlike other immigration agencies, our team does not handle paperwork; we have a dedicated documentation team specializing in paperwork. Our immigration attorney, Director Lisa, and the documentation team perform a total of four cross-checks to review all paperwork.
