Languages & Travel made the choice to promote the Working Holiday Visa as soon as Belgium signed the Working Holiday Visa agreement in 2004.
Hundreds of young people entrust Languages & Travel with the organization of their working holiday every year. It's truly one of their specialties
The idea, as with our other job abroad programs, is to allow as many young people as possible to have an extraordinary experience for a year in the fabulous country of Canada.
On the internet, you can find many websites dedicated to Working Holiday Visas (WHVs) whose model is based on affiliate marketing. They provide information, and if you book a service through a tracked link, they get paid. But these sites take no responsibility, organize nothing, and are not liable for anything.
Unlike community websites that provide useful information, Languages & Travel is the ORGANIZER of your Working Holiday Visa program . Travel agent license (A 1602), insurance against our financial insolvency (AMLIN: contract LXX05036), professional liability insurance—all legal obligations that Languages & Travel must meet, and that's all the better for you!
With Languages & Travel, you entrust the organization of your Working Holiday Visa to an accredited agency and you leave with peace of mind knowing that everything has been organized down to the last detail.
To provide you with more information about the Working Holiday Visa and our programs, we have developed a dedicated website for the specific Working Holiday Visa: www.visavacancestravail.be for Belgians and www.visavacancestravail.fr for French citizens. We look forward to organizing YOUR Working Holiday Visa program.
We organize 2 information sessions via videoconference every week of the year, register for free here .

"Hi Pascal, I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to let you know that I left Vancouver on February 8th and arrived safely back in Belgium. I finally found a job with a home cleaning company for the last two months. The experience was challenging because the work environment created by the manager was quite disastrous and very unpleasant. That said, I'm very glad I persevered and stayed in Canada during this very unusual year. Travel is always a gamble, and you can't win every time. Nevertheless, I'm not traumatized by the experience, and I hope to embark on new adventures as soon as the health crisis allows. I remember our first meeting in September 2018, and I wanted to thank you and Coline for your support and guidance over these past two and a half years. Thank you for everything." Best regards,

"Good evening Maelle, I saw that Joey hasn't replied to your email yet. He's not very active on his Gmail 😉 (though he should be). He's more on WhatsApp or Instagram. I hope he'll reply, but I can already say that the trip went well. He likes school and I think he likes his host family. He also thinks Vancouver is great. I have a question about school. For now, he's enrolled for 3 months. He hopes his English is good enough to find a job. Is it possible to extend the school, for example, by a month if necessary? He told me that his friends often stay at school for 5 or 6 months. Does he need to know before a certain date? And what about staying with the host family?"

"I want to thank you again for the trip, it's truly exceptional. Everything is going wonderfully in Whistler, my host family is really great, the school is smaller but much more relaxed than the one in Vancouver. I've already met loads of people and that's really fantastic!" (Stay in Canada, 6 months of English classes)
