Please contact us if you have held a work visa to Canada previously (either through BUNAC or from the High Commission directly) as this may affect your eligibility for Work Canada .

If you have a Canadian partner*, you may not be eligible to apply to the Work or Gap Canada programme. If you have a UK partner* who is not taking part in the Work or Gap Canada programme, this may also affect your application. If either of these apply to you, please contact BUNAC before you apply to the programme.
