We will send you documentation that you need to bring to Canada and, although it happens rarely, the Immigration Officer may charge you a fee of $155 CAD at the Canadian border once you arrive in Canada. Note: If you would like to work for 1-2 years in Canada, then you may be eligible to apply for a Working Holiday Visa at your own cost.

Extra Certificates

Some camps prefer to hire staff that have First Aid or Lifeguarding Certifications. There may be an added cost associated with obtaining these certifications. It is not compulsory to have qualifications for certain positions, but it can help find you a camp placement quicker!

Flights are not included in your program fee. Staff are able to book flights on their own via any airline of their choice. However, in order to help applicants with the added expense of booking a flight to Canada, we offer a Flight Assist option, in which we to deduct your flight cost from your final pocket money.

Background Checks & Biometrics

Once accepted into the program, all applicants need to provide a medical and criminal background check. These fees are not paid to Camp Canada and vary based on your country of residency and your individual doctor’s fees. Once you land to Canada, you’ll be asked to pay an $85 CAD fee for biometrics to the Government of Canada. This is a fee that you pay only once every 10 years to enter the country.
