The Direct Placement Program

Work Permit Support

We support your camp in helping you obtain a seasonal work permit to work at your summer camp. We will prepare and send you the paperwork needed for your work permit, which you will use to apply for and obtain your work permit at the first port of entry upon arrival in Canada.

Work Permit Extensions Support

If your camp would like to extend your contract, they can contact us so that we can support them in helping you with this process as well.
