- Await visa, check dates and prepare municipal arrival declaration.
Step 3

Step 4
Get ready for the trip
Prepare the medical within 3 months as a documented precaution and passport for more than 15 months from planned departure. Confirm current fees and discrepancies before payment.
- Passport, visa and requested evidence accessible offline.
- Initial funds, insurance and departure costs checked separately.

Step 5
Start your Working Holiday
Declare arrival and register with the municipality under Montreal instructions; confirm the exact deadline. Declare departure at visa expiry. Do not promise a separate residence permit.
