What health insurance you pay?
Hiii, what insurance company do you use?
Hey! I use best quote IEC insurance. It was the cheapest option for me :) just make sure you do high coverage, I share more in recent video I’ll tag after this!

Hey, how long in between applying for housing and being accepted did you have to wait?
Hi, moving to whistler this winter. I was wondering if you can have guests to stay in staff housing ??
I’m not sure what the exact rules are, but I would advise against it only because the units aren’t really big enough to have another person stay, plus you’ll have 3 other roommates living there too. But you can definitely have people over to hang out :)
Hey! Fab video😊. Me and my boyfriend are hoping to head over early next year. Do you know where (cities across Canada) tends to be the easiest to land jobs/ get accomodation? I have a degree in research but we are are botj open to do anything really.
I don’t know too much unfortunately, my experience has been only in ski towns so it’s a little different. I know that organising a house can be the hardest part, so just making sure you have plenty of savings to support yourself as your getting set up would be my main advice!
When is the best time and what places to apply for jobs in whistler?
Winter jobs usually go live between July-Sep but they continue through winter. We open for winter season in November. There’s always plenty of jobs going, it’s housing that’s a little trickier to find! Hope that helps :)
@@caitlinjanet_ Can you tell me a good way and website or service to apply to those jobs?
First time I see a non french doing a video about IEC Visa 😊 ( I'm french) really interesting to see how people of other countries handle this
Haha that’s awesome! I feel like almost all I’ve seen has been Australia and UK! 😂
At Big White its $230 AUD per person, per week. That's sharing with another person in the bedroom.
Wow thats quite expensive for staff housing! Is that just because it’s so limited or?
@caitlinjanet_ every area is allowed a number of staff housing but of cause not everyone who works for the resort gets staff housing. Maybe because its on the actual mountain.
💔❤🔥❤🩹🧡🧡💚💛
💔❤🔥❤🩹🧡🧡💚💛
Hey wondering how likely I would be offered staff accommodation? I’ve accepted a lift ops job for this winter and applied through the working holiday club
Hey! It’s hard to say for sure because I don’t know much about TWHC and whether they can help with housing or not. But definitely they should start to tell you soon I believe! Also usually beds do open up along the season too.
I’m in the exact same boat, waiting for the details to get sent through to I can apply for housing
Hey girl what insurance did you use and how much excess and cover did you choose? Xx
Hey! I go with Best Quote IEC insurance they’re really good and easy to use. For mine I think I did $200,000 with $0 excess which cost us about $1500 each (this was 2 years ago). If you want to risk it and spend less, do a higher excess but keep the coverage high. Atleast $100,000 in case of a hospital stay, bills can add up very fast! And make sure you get the winter sports coverage, definitely needed! I broke my wrist my first winter and it cost me almost 3K which I got back thankfully.
thanks for all these videos! wondering if you know if you’re required to open a bank account at a canadian bank/own a canadian credit card or something like that? or can i just use my wise visa travel card (i’m aussie) to pay for rent and stuff like that?
Hey! Great Q, I’m not sure actually, might be worth searching on the IEC Facebook group. I do know a lot of people that use Wise and other options like that, but I still think it’s handy having the Canadian bank account in case for some reason your other card doesn’t work. We are with CIBC and pay $0 fees for the first 2 years. We also have a Credit Card now which is handy because sometimes other cards don’t work for some places (like the usa, or certain restaurants) and for things (hotels sometimes only accept CC, renting cars, big payments like flights when your debit has a limit). Hope that helps!
Really aiming for Brio as it’s most accessible for me. But a bit worried about the waiting list. Is there anyone I can contact to kinda chase it?
Hey! Great Q, I’m actually in the process of finding that out myself for a friend, so once I hear I can pass the message on.
In the mean time, you could try contacting whoever you’ve been emailing for work, or see if you can find a contact for housing, but we usually do everything on Direct Connect now which is a employee service.
Thanks for all this information! It's been a big help to all my anxieties about applying!
No worries, that’s why I’m here! Glad that I’ve been able to help your anxiety :) are you coming to Whistler this winter?
I am applying there and a few other places to see who responds, but I will use your referral code for sure! 🙂
hey! planning to move to whistler on a WHV end of 2025 did you go through a company or do it on your own? Im leaning more towards the latter but I'm worrier about not securing a job before getting there
Hey! That’s awesome that you’re planning on coming over. There is The Working Holiday Club who are a great company for helping you with your visa and getting a job. However my year they couldn’t guarantee me housing and I had already done my visa alone so didn’t feel I needed to spend my money on a company. It is scarier but definitely can be done as long as you spend your time now researching as much as possible so that you feel more confident. I watched a lot of YT, and I also spent a lot of time on the IEC Facebook group reading about everyone’s experience.
hello lovely people! if you're looking to apply for the winter 24/25 season in whistler with the mountain, feel free to use me as a referral! ID: 374528
Love it 💖,,, I just got my two year visa and planning to go to Canada for this ski season 2024🎉
Yay congrats!! So exciting!! Not long now ❤
hey caitlin, me and my partner are making the move over to whistler for the snow season but are really struggling to find employment, Are there any particular websites you recommend or specific ways to find employment, as i feel like I am looking everywhere but cannot find any jobs?
Hey! Congrats on making the move! I know it can seem daunting trying to find work and housing.. if you’re not having luck with job postings, I would recommend reaching out to businesses directly by email and getting in touch there. Vail Resorts own the mountain so definitely apply for jobs via their website. It depends what kind of job you’re after.. feel free to send me a direct message on Instagram and I can help further with specifics depending on what work you’re after!
@@caitlinjanet_ thank you very much for your response caitlin only just saw this 🤣
thanks, do you know the situation with visas from the uk do you apply for them after you’ve got the job and everything sorted or is the wait for them too long ? also if your planning on staying year round whats the situation if you have been working on lifts for work and housing. many thanks
Hey! Great Q! Definitely make sure you get your visa first, it’s a much longer process and some countries only open for visas certain times of the year! The visa can take a few months to get approved. I just talked about this in my recent q&a if you want more details! And then for work it’s pretty easy to keep working from winter to summer or to get a year round position if you have a qualification (trade, management, etc).
Love the video! Thanks for the detailed explanations :) Btw when did you apply for the job? Hopefully im not too late now (I live around vancouver and got a visa). Thanks
Hey! Thanks for the love! Jobs for ski season should be going live now! Whistler jobs are definitely live on their website so make sure you start having a look and applying :) housing fills up fast!
@@caitlinjanet_ will do! Thanks
@@orimazya7729have u heard anything back yet?
Such a great video. Thanku so much. I'm moving to whistler for the first time in November
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the informative vids! Just wondering how one would go from a winter contract into a summer contract? Would you need to find another job in the change of seasons?
No worries! Thanks for watching! Honestly Winter to Summer is fairly easy, they keep almost everyone on depending on how much retention there is. But if you’re a good worker and planning to stay you should have no troubles! Much easier to stay here once you’re here :)
@@caitlinjanet_ thankyou! Could you also recommend a way that will give me the best chance at finding employment for end of November this year, I have my iec ready to go, just have been struggling to find work without going through someone like the working holiday club. Thankyou so much!
❤❤❤❤
😊😊😊😊
Hi Caitlin, Thanks for you video! Have just started applying for a bunch of jobs through the whistler site as they have only just opened up recently. I was just wondering how long after you applied were you getting contacted for interviews/when were you officially offered a job? I understand that the housing process is a bit slower but were you having interviews/offers around the August mark or later? Thanks!
Hey! That’s awesome that you’re coming to Whistler! I just did a little search and saw that I had my interview August 12 and was offered the job on the same day :) so yes expect August for things to happen for WB jobs! After that point the information will come more slowly. All the best!
❤❤❤❤
🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍
I’m coming this winter, All the info, pics and videos are helpful and looks amazing!
You must be getting so pumped! Not long now! Thanks for watching ❤️
Looks warm
Thanks for watching ❤️
Hey Caitlin, thanks for sharing your data. Do you think it is too late to apply in the end of August or first days of September?
No you should be okay! There are plenty of jobs in town for winter, but the hardest part is just getting housing. So if you’re late to that it can be harder but not impossible! Good luck.
@@caitlinjanet_ Good to hear that. Many thanks and greetings from Andorra! 🇦🇩 See you there
Hey 😊 are the costs in Canadian dollars or Australian?
Hey! Great question! My brain kind of thinks of them as one thing now! I would say for your savings and for everything you buy while still at home (insurance, visa) in AUD and then everything I mentioned in Canada as CAD :)
Funny
💐💐💐❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the info, very helpful.
Words of encouragement “don’t be a pussy” hahahahahah
hey im an aussie whos looking to work in whistler, I have an interview for fairmont, does anyone have anyrecomendations of other places I should apply as I'm trying to avoid food and bev but have no ski experience, so sales, retail cleaning is more what I'm looking for
Hey! That's awesome that you're coming to Whistler! I definitely would recommend trying some of the retail jobs for for the mountain would be ideal for you. Go to the Vail Resorts Whistler Jobs page and the Winter Seasonal jobs should come live soon! And don't stress about your ski experience, it's not a requirement :)
Thank you so much! An amazing vid! I’m from the UK but currently in Aus and desperately want to do a ski season in whistler 😊 Are you able to apply for multiple roles as I’m not really fussed what I do, just want to experience mountain life and snowboard the season away
Yes of course! Just apply for a bunch, that’s what I did. Don’t bother applying for manager positions though unless you have experience. But if you’re leaning towards a certain department definitely push for it :)
Hi, how much minimum rental in staff housing?
Glacier staff housing is around $180 a fortnight I think, which is amazing for Whistler! I pay more for my location :)
I will be there in Sep.2024 ... will try to visit
What type of second visa did you get? I assume it's an extra year with a registered office?
Correct! It was with the SWAP program with is a Recognised Organisation and its just the same visa again and IEC visa! It was organised through work for me to even be offered though, so I don’t know all the details… but there’s definitely options out there!
@@caitlinjanet_ Thanks for responding! I did my WHV with SWAP, I found their Toronto head office to be quite helpful during my stay.
Very interesting dear
I just did my interview for whistler and keeping everything crossed that I’ll be out there for winter. Ideally would really be great to be in brio so it’s nice to see people’s opinions on it! 🤍
That’s so exciting! I don’t know how to get into Brio immediately, but west side is also really nice just further away, usually for mature people :)
