Looking For Jobs Overseas? A Youth Mobility Visa Can Help
As Canadians and Americans know well, the job market in North America has took a turn for the worst. Currently in Canada, Statistics Canada has reported the youth unemployment rate was sitting at 14.5% in August of 2024. Continually lowering in a nasty downtrend.
Even if we zoom out to the broader to anyone above the 15 year old threshold in Canada, the trend is sagging.
And it’s not looking like it will change anytime soon. However, if we look to other countries, they’re young people are thriving.
Thailand, Singapore, Mexico, and Germany – as of writing this, have Youth unemployment rates of less then 5%. And the great thing about this? They offer a Youth Mobility or Working Holiday visa which you can apply for to legally work and live in the country.
You don’t even have to have a job lined up. As long as you can prove you can support yourself, you can start looking for work in the country of your dreams. Consider the Youth Mobility Visa like getting your foot in the door of the immigration system in a country where you can actually afford to buy a house in. And if you do find work in your destination country, you can parlay that into a long term visa or residence permit.
Breeze Through the Visa Process with the Youth Mobility Visa Guide
If you’ve never applied for a visa before, do not worry. I was once in your shoes as well. And each chapter covers the complete application process so you don’t make the common mistakes many do when applying.
Not only is applying stressful, but it can take serious time and some upfront cost as well. The last thing you want to do is submit your Working Holiday / Youth Mobility Visa with subpar paperwork or forget a document and have to pay again to re-apply.
Luckily, our writers, and myself personally have dedicated pages to outlining these common mistakes so you can avoid them and make a solid application.
The Fastest Way To Work Outside of Canada and the USA
In 2024 spending time applying to foreign companies online will not get you far. You can hope to get a nibble but with IP filters and applicant tracking features, you will be filtered out fast.
Instead, it’s time for you to get gainful employment by showing up in person. And the Youth Mobility Visa and Working Holiday Visa guide will help you do it fast. After you’ve got your visa stamped in your passport your opportunities become endless. Especially if it’s in the EU where you can use your Working Holiday Visa to travel around the euro-zone while working incidentally.
That’s just one of the many perks of getting a Youth Mobility Visa. Further perks of a YMV and Working Holiday Visa include (but vary by country):
- The ability to work in the country of your choice
