Age
IRCC states 18–35; SIRI’s Canadian text says no older than 36. Age matching remains unassessed pending clarification, without automatically rejecting age 36.

Requirements, application steps and preparation before departure.
Step 1
Check requirements and language preparation
Length of stay
The stay can last 12 months, but IRCC limits work to 6 months in total. This is not merely a per-employer limit. Confirm SIRI conditions before a contract.
References: DK-CA
Initial funds
Canadian page: DKK 15,000 plus return ticket or DKK 5,000. Shared-form excerpts say DKK 18,000 in English and DKK 24,000 in Danish. Confirm the Canadian checklist; extra precautionary preparation does not establish a legal threshold.

A short passport reduces permission. Earlier insurance expiry or return-ticket departure can also shorten it.
References: CA-DK-ISSUER-20261018
Insurance
Medical, hospital, accident, life and repatriation coverage throughout the stay.
References: CA-DK-ISSUER-20261018
Documents and participation
Copy all passport pages and covers; payment receipt with SB-ID; funds and insurance evidence. Translate documents into a SIRI-accepted language.
References: CA-DK-ISSUER-20261018
Step 2
Apply through the official route
After clarifying age and funds, create an SB-ID, pay the required fee and follow online or paper WH1.
- Check Canadian citizenship and habitual residence; clarify the age-35/36 contradiction.
- Create the SB-ID and follow SIRI’s payment sequence.
- Attach every passport page, funds and insurance; choose online or paper WH1.
- Follow filing and biometric instructions; await permission before starting work.
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
Confirm conflicting funds before filing. Arrange comprehensive insurance and adequate passport validity; an early return ticket can shorten permission. Track salary-reporting months.
- 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
Check permit dates and the six-month work limit. After address registration, ask the municipality about Danish lessons; a deposit and pass deadlines may apply.
Work
Each of the calendar months in which an employer reports salary counts, regardless of hours. No self-employment.
Study
SIRI permits courses or education for up to six months during the stay.
