References: CA-CL-SERMIG CA-CL-CONSULAR
Step 2
Apply through the official route
- Choose category 4 and check Canadian conditions.
- Create a SERMIG account and file from abroad under the applicable agreement.
- Attach passport, criminal record, photo, resources, insurance and declaration under the confirmed checklist.
- Answer requests, await the decision and read permission and arrival formalities.
Step 3
Read your approval and entry conditions
Read the entire approval notice: identity, dates, entry deadline and conditions. Keep it available offline. Do not assume the visa starts on your preferred date.
Step 4
Get ready for the trip
Prepare criminal record and passport early; separate departure funds from support. Confirm any repeat participation before spending.
- Passport, visa and requested evidence accessible offline.
- Initial funds, insurance and departure costs checked separately.
- First accommodation and airport transport arranged.
Step 5
Start your Working Holiday
Keep authorization and evidence; check post-grant formalities with SERMIG before employment. Do not confuse tourist admission with residence.
Work
IRCC requires no advance offer for 4. Await the appropriate permission; tourist admission does not replace granted residence.
Study
The general page discusses short courses without a precise Canadian allowance. Confirm a study plan rather than reusing French rules.
