Hospitality

Can I get a second job?

Yes, in some case you can as long as it does not interfere with your original job (INTERNeX is not responsible for finding a second placement for you). If you are on a program where internship is an integral part of the program of study you must inform INTERNeX about the second job and we will have to speak to the employer to ensure the employer understands the obligation of the program. If you have applied for a Young Workers Exchange visa you are not allowed by law to obtain more than one job or to change your job.

 

What do I do when I arrive in Vancouver?

Speak to your counselor about which arrival package to receive as INTERNeX provides airport transfers to downtown or transfers to Homestay or INTERNeX Staff Accommodation (if available).

 

What happens if I lose my placement or I am fired?

This depends on the kind of work visa you have. For all visas excluding The Open Working Holiday or SWAP visa, if you are fired with good reason as per your employment contract with the company you will lose the right to retain your work visa. INTERNeX will inform immigration and you will be required to return back to your home country. If you do not leave, Immigration Canada has the right to forcibly remove you from the country within 24 hours and not allow you to ever re-enter Canada. If you have an Open Working Holiday Visa you are free to stay in the country however INTERNeX holds no responsibility for finding you another position or any other support.

 

What kind of people are employers looking for?

We are looking for people who are outgoing, hard working, good at communicating with others and who really want to learn about the Canadian Hospitality and Customer Service industry and people that like to live in the city. Some placements require a certain skill set but some do not. Customer service experience is always a plus as is any related educational training.

 

How much money will I earn?

Wages vary according to placement type and resort. In general, pay rates average between $8CAD–$9CAD per hour. Server positions may also receive tips and gratuities.
