Do you have any questions regarding employment at Whistler Blackcomb?
Hey guys,
I have a meeting the Whistler Blackcomb’s Recuiting Coordinator this Friday. The purpose of the meeting is to ask any questions which you would like answered in regards to their recruitment policies, how it all works, what you need to do etc.
If you have any questions you would like answered, now would be the time to ask them. I already have some standard questions I want to ask, but please give me additional questions. Please reply below with any questions and I will make sure they get asked.
This is awesome! Thanks so much for setting this up, it’s going to be a big help for me and a lot of other people :D
No worries, Alysha.
Do you have any specific questions?
Can an old fart get a job at Whistler?
How would I get a visa?
I can answer that.
You can get a job at Whistler Blackcomb if you can legally work in Canada. But no, because you can’t get a work visa. You can only apply for a work visa up to the age of 30.
But you are welcome to come visit me. 
I also have a meeting with a The Working Holiday Club representative for Canada on the weekend.
Any specific questions for them, please reply below.

I thought it was 31 - ie you can apply whilst you are still 30?
I think you are correct. I applied before my 31st birthday.
No worries, Alysha.
Do you have any specific questions?
Not really, just what I said in the email wanting to know when to arrive when will the fair be on.

Wish we could ask Whistler why the working holiday club has such a monopoly on the job market there and people who actually put in a bunch of effort and enthusiasm gets put behind people who pay money and sit on their asses to get jobs…
#1 Daughter tells us that Canada have changed their working visa policy and its going to be a lot harder from now on.

Yeah because I would like to try for lifty and I should have just as much of a chance as what TWHC people have, it’s not fair at all if that’s how it works with them getting first pick etc.
