Sean was very friendly, to the point where I had to wonder if the offer was too good to be true, and the guy in registration was equally friendly. He lowered the cost of the deposit so I could enroll today instead of putting it off. All and all you guys get an A+ from me in the customer service department.

    I'm from Australia and I recently went to Vancouver, but now I'm near Port Severn. I participated in The Working Holiday program of The Global Work & Travel. It seemed like a good program. I watched reviews from other people who have taken it, and it came out that I had a great time with this program. I speak with my coordinator quite often and she's very helpful. She's contacted me recently as well to see how I'm going.

    My experience has been great so far and I'm not having any dislikes. I take it day by day for now and see what happens. I work most of the day but I do get a bit of time off to hang out with other people here, to go swimming and go for drives, bike rides, hiking, and lots of stuff. I gained new friends. All the people here are great. I share new experiences. I've been in plenty of extended holidays before but never here. I feel more independent because, around that time in Australia, I still lived at home with my parents.

    I'm from Northern Ireland. I went with the Working Holiday package. I traveled to Canada and have been here for over a month. My friend got me interested in The Global Work & Travel Co. We signed up 'cause she wanted to go and work in Canada and we talked about traveling together. At the moment, I'm working at a company called Sea to Sky Gondola in Squamish north of Vancouver. I'm getting on average four or five days of work per week. It's not the best but I'm trying to get a little bit better with it. I've been able to get a couple of extra shifts in different departments.

    My friend and I were a little concerned that there was a bit of miscommunication going on from the job offers that were being given but as soon as we talked to Global about it, everything was sorted. There was one week when I only worked two days and I'm in fast accommodation that's taken out of my paycheck. Having only worked two days, I was worried I won't be able to cover rent for that paycheck cycle. I phoned Global and they were the reason that I've been able to get more work in other departments. I'm more than happy with how they're helping at the minute. My parents panicked when that was going on and got in touch with the UK office, and they were really happy with the advice that they were given.

    Also, there was miscommunication about the hours in the job that I'm in currently. That could have been Gondola's fault. They maybe didn't let Global know that there would be problem with work hours if the weather wasn't good. But Global has done their best to help with that, with myself and other travelers who are here in the same job. So, I have no complaints about Global in that sense.

    The job is different to what I've done before. Aside from international experience, I'm learning a lot about the food industry and I also got bar and bussing experience. It'll all be really good for my resume when I go home for getting a job or for trying to get my permanent residency if I stay here. I'm very happy with the help that they've given me, particularly these last couple of weeks whenever I've been stressed out. The help that they give me in Canada is probably more important than the help that they give me before I leave, because I'm away from my support system at home. I'm hoping that help from Global won't change.

    I'm from Australia and I traveled to Canada through Global Work's Working Holiday program. I wanted to get to new horizons and thought that I could get a more fulfilling experience going to Canada. I was a bit nervous at one point because I was very nearly at the age cut-off but it eventually came together. The girl I was working and interacting with at the Canada office, Bridget, was very good, helpful and attentive. However, for most of the process, I was very unsatisfied with the quality of service and communication I was getting from the Brisbane team of Global Work. Often, questions that I asked didn't get fully answered.

    One problem that I had was that I found out at a very late date that I needed a police check from when I used to work in China and to get one was an extremely complicated and difficult process. I sent a couple of emails every now asking the Brisbane team if I got things right or if I had forgotten something 'cause there were a lot of information to take in and it was hard to get my head around everything when I still had a job and other things I had to do in my life. If the Brisbane team had looked at my resume, they would have found that I needed this kind of forewarning. It was not really attended to. So the time that I was left with was only enough to get the necessary paperwork and documents that were accepted by the Canadian immigration. But I did send a strongly worded email to Bridget in Canada about it and she never told me but I suspect that she gave a couple of people the kick up the bum that I was hoping.

    I've been here in Canada for a month now and my day-to-day life has been good. I go to work in the city and it can be a bit tedious sometimes but it's still a good place to be working. But where I am right now, I'm surrounded by Australians. I wouldn't mind going somewhere where I'm the only Australian so I can get a really good cultural immersion. The more I'm here, the more I'm learning that this place is a very popular destination for Australians and it's very unlikely I'm going to be anywhere that there aren't as many Australians. Otherwise, culturally, it's been nice.

    I like hiking and going out into the natural areas. But I'm a bit squeamish about the fact that if I want a Canadian driver's license, I have to surrender my Australian driver's license. I can understand why I wasn't forewarned about this because I don't really need a car. But if I wanted to go on camps and little adventures and I'd need a car, then it's a significant thing to consider. On the whole, the experience has been good. I'm very satisfied now that I'm here and life is normalizing in my new place of residency. However, I'm thinking and keeping an eye out for opportunities for work that have more responsibilities and challenges. I'm all for the fun experience. I would like the simple work that would go with a retail thing of which many positions of that kind aren't offered around here.

    I was planning to go somewhere in the world to work and live. I didn’t want to study and The Global Work & Travel seemed like the perfect fit. I’m from Canberra, Australia and I traveled to Vancouver, Canada. I took part in the Working Holiday, and at the moment, I’m doing a promotion work for a paintball company. We go out to malls every day and try to make people get some tickets for an awesome price. It’s a really great opportunity. The company’s great and it was a really good find through Global.

    Our travel coordinator, Jen, was the one we dealt with the most. She had an answer to any question that we had. Everyone in the team, dealing with payment and flight details, was so friendly and happy to help. With Global, I realized that travel is doable. It only seems really hard, but going with Global is like having Mom and Dad helping you through the way. In fact, they have given me more help than my parents back at home, trying to help me with work or if I had issues with taxes or setting up my phone and banks. Everything has been perfect. The Global team has been amazing, and Vancouver is a great place. My partner and I had four months to get everything sorted out. It’s been a total rush but it all worked out really well.

    When we first saw The Global Work and Travel deal we thought "Yay! Let's do it!" Then someone rang us and told us all about it. We thought it sounded perfect. They were pretty urgent about getting a deposit down. It was pretty urgent for them to just get the money. After a while, we paid the deposit and some other money on top of that. Then we decided that we wanted to go back to uni and just not to the trip. We knew that we wouldn't get our deposit back as two of the Global Work and Travel crew told us, but what they didn't tell us is that we wouldn't get any money back that wasn't paid over 50% of the trip package (2000). Just super duper annoying to deal with, especially as I'm a student who struggles for money. Lots of false advertising and they got pretty sour when I said I wanted to cancel. Be very careful giving them your money people. It was the worst thing I've ever done.

    Response from Global Work & Travel

    Hi Kimberley, thanks for your feedback and sorry to hear about how you are feeling. The urgency in terms of travel arrangements comes mainly from the timeline when you wish to travel. Getting everything ready and organised for you, and for your visa to be approved etc. might take some time so we generally advise getting things started as soon as you know that you want to go - then you wouldn't miss a specific season for example, if you want to get there when the snow season starts or summer begins etc. and you are all set!

    Please note that we do offer an industry-leading flexibility what comes to gap year arrangements and deposits. Our 10-year deposit guarantee will allow you to travel when the time is right again, instead of just being forfeited like at other companies.

    The amount of potential refund of any further arrangements that have been paid for will then differ depending on how far along you've been in the process. But none of that money paid is lost, it can all be used towards your trip later on, or even transferred to someone else in certain circumstances. Our cancellation policy is also listed in the booking conditions you were required to scroll through online before being able to accept that you've read them.

    Please don't hesitate to read more about the 10-year deposit guarantee, here: http://globalworkandtravel.com/ten-year-deposits/

    Also, if there's anything we could further assist you at anytime, please don't hesitate to contact your nearest Global office and one of our coordinators would be more than happy to assist anytime!

    We do hope that this makes sense to you, and we do hope to have you travel with us in the future whenever the time is right for you!
