Work & Travel Programs

Work & Travel programs   are  designed to help support our travelers who  elect to travel on a temporary work visa. The idea behind the program is to help our travelers secure employment so they can fund their travels and cultural immersion experience.

These programs provide an ample amount of support and are a service for those who don’t feel comfortable finding work on their own.   Programs  often include  arrival orientations, job and housing s upport , 24/7 in-country staff and other perks like insurance, visa assistance, and an alumni community. Each program has its own inclusions, so be sure to read the specific details for the program you’re interested in.  

Working Holiday Visa

What is a Working Holiday Visa? 

This is a visa that allows individuals to work  (and sometimes study)  without undergoing the process of employer sponsorship. In other words, those who enter a country utilizing a working holiday visa are not tied to a single employer.

Am I Eligible? 

These are the  visa  eligibility requirements mandated by most government entities (this may vary based on citizenship):  

  • Citizen of one of the following: USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, EU  
  • Be between the ages of 18-30 years old  (up to 35 for some countries excluding the USA)  
  • Must be outside of  the country while undergoing  the visa application process  
  • Must have a valid passport with an expiration date that exceeds the Working Holiday visa end-date by at least 6 months  

***Your citizenship country must have a standing Working Holiday Agreement with the country you intend to work in (i.e. New Zealand, Australia, or Ireland).   

***If you are unsure if you are eligible for the Working Holiday visa, please email us!  

How long is the validity of the visa? 

This visa is valid for up to a year!  

When Should I Apply? 

You should apply for your  Working Holiday  visa  at least  two months before your program start date to give the consulate enough time to award your work permit. It is great to apply in advance, but also note that in most cases after the visa is awarded, you’ll have 6-12 months to enter the country and activate the visa. If you apply too early, your visa can expire.   

Don’t worry! We have built the timing of the visa application process into your Work & Travel program; we will advise you when to apply!  

Why Would I Pay to Work?

These types of  programs don’t have direct government funding, so t raveler s who want to  work   abroad  must cover some of their own expenses. When programs cost money, we do try to keep them as cheap as possible (we are a non-profit!) ,  but there are some costs associated with running a program when it does not have any direct funding. Depending on the country and program you choose, you could make money in the end, it all depends on what type of experience you want to have.  

Program fees also go toward you! We have airport pickups, orientations, and a pre-departure package with some Greenheart swag and other perks depending on the program. Program staff will be available to answer any questions before and after arrival. Read more here.

Program FAQs

Can I bring a pet or child? 

No, you cannot bring your children or pets. The programs are not structured to accommodate dependents as there are many other logistics to keep in mind that we cannot guarantee we can meet. If you are bringing a pet or child with you abroad, it may be best to consider finding work on your own so you can guarantee proper housing, childcare, schooling, etc.  

Can I apply with a friend, spouse, or significant other?  

Yes, you can apply together! However,  whether  you will end up being placed together depends on the country and your flexibility. We guarantee that can place people together for  Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland.   

Will I be alone? 

This depends on the program.    

Australia and New Zealand are designed as group experiences with large Welcome Weeks. Of course, when you begin working it is your choice whether you would like to stick with friends or pursue your own travel experience solo!  

Ireland and Argentina Work & Travel are programs that are designed around the individual. Start dates are largely determined around when the traveler  is able to  arrive in the country, which means you may arrive alone.   

The Thailand Marketing program is a competitive internship with limited placements. How many interns we accept depends on how many available positions we have; you can be the only intern.   

Can I choose where I’d like to work in the country I’m going to? 

Most  Work & Travel programs  allow you the flexibility to choose  where you’d like to live and work.  In the case of Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland Work & Travel you may choose where you’d like to be based. You can even move and work in multiple areas throughout the country!   

Family & Friends Support

We understand that a Work Abroad experience is a big step for everyone involved. For this reason, upon acceptance to all Greenheart Travel programs we provide the following support materials that we  encourage our travelers to share with their loved ones: program orientation packet (includes all details of the program), emergency contact numbers, and insurance documents.

How do I contact my loved one who is working abroad? 

In  most cases, our programs include a local SIM Card for your loved one’s smartphone. The SIM card will allow for purchasing of data, text, and call plans. Additionally, mediums like Facetime, Whatsapp , Facebook Messenger, and Skype are widely available in all Work & Travel locations so you and your loved one can stay in touch!   

Can I visit my loved one during the Work & Travel program? 

This is a program-specific answer. For Work & Travel Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland you are more than welcome to visit your loved one as these programs run for longer durations (up to a year).  

For programs such as Argentina and Thailand, we recommend planning your visits for the end of the 3-month work program when your loved one is likely to have more free time and  is likely to  do a bit of traveling.   

My loved one is a young adult applying for a Work Abroad program, can I attend the interview or call in for my loved one? 

Like any travel abroad experience, Work  Abroad  programs are challenging and do require our travelers to be independent critical thinkers. Greenheart Travel  applicants  will interview with employers abroad face-to-face, so the initial program interview  with Greenheart Travel  should  be  seen as  preparation for work interviews abroad. Applicants must  prepare and  attend this alone (without friends, family, or loved ones) as they would with any job interview.   

Work Abroad Q&A calls are reserved for potential Greenheart Travel applicants who are eligible only when they are an adult (18+) . In our experience, chatting with both a loved one and applicant separately can lead to miscommunication. Additionally, if an applicant is to work abroad, this individual needs to have a complete understanding of all the steps we took to get there and must be able to communicate with our staff directly.  

If you are a loved one of a current  applicant  and you have questions that have not been addressed ,  please ask the applicant to email Greenheart Travel directly with those questions.   

Every year we offer   scholarships   for our Work Abroad programs!  

Application Process

Please note the process is a little bit different for each program. For  most  programs, however, the process is as follows.

1.   Start Your Application  Here .  You will be sent more information as well as the link to our application portal to begin your formal application.

2. Submit Basic Program Information:  The first step in our application portal will be basic things like your chosen start date, etc.

3. Submit your deposit :  A $300 deposit is required in order to apply for the program. This is subtracted from your total program fee. If we are unable to accept you following your interview (very unlikely!) we will refund your deposit  in full.

4.   Complete Application & Documents :  Provide more detailed information about yourself in Part 2 of the application. In this section, you’ll tell us more information like your work history, motivations for joining the program, travel history, and emergency contacts. You will also submit your documents (below) within your portal account.

5.   Skype Interview:  Once you have submitted your online application and paid your application deposit, you will be asked to schedule a video interview with a Greenheart Travel representative.

6. You’re Accepted!  Woohoo! We are usually able to accept people within 1-2 weeks of their interviews.

7. Commitment Deposit:  Once you are accepted to the program, you will need to submit a $300 commitment deposit within 14 days to confirm your spot on the program. Once you submit your commitment deposit you will unlock the acceptance portion of your portal, which includes things like pre-departure videos, travel and arrival information, the Greenheart Travel Atlas, and more.

What thousands of Worldpackers are saying about it

travel work program

I believe Worldpackers' special mission is to improve the world and motivate people to be happy, travel, and do good. Since I discovered Worldpackers, I highly recommend it to friends, family, and anyone with whom the subject comes up.

travel work program

It is a practical and safe app. In my experience, I have met many solo female volunteers who travel with the app, and most of us think that it is an excellent tool for safe travel.

travel work program

A great place to find different opportunities to meet new people, gain experiences whether in different languages or skill, just about a good site to be at for potential new places you may have not been in!

travel work program

The support team is very responsive and provides assistance. The hosts are trustworthy, and there are so many options.

This agency allows for an incredible exchange between travelers and hosts where they both get something. In my case, as a traveler, I get unique experiences, new people in my life, personal development, and more.

travel work program

Volunteering through Worldpackers has given me the greatest experiences of my life. I would scream it from the rooftops. Good job, guys; you're a blessing to the earth.

It is an excellent platform! Volunteering is a unique experience that every person should live at some point in their life.

Yiyi and Marcos

I believe that Worldpackers helps you live experiences wherever you are in the world, accompanies you and guides you. I always recommend it to my traveling friends, and I talk to my family about this app. Very useful.

travel work program

The exchange that Worldpackers offers is very good. It's not just a considerable saving on accommodation, but a really cool network, connections, and unforgettable experiences away from home!

travel work program

It is definitely worth exploring the world through some activity other than the tourism that we all know, and I think Worldpackers is the opportunity to do it. It is necessary to live with communities, learn from them, teach what we know and live other types of experiences although clearly it is the opportunity to know and enjoy. Excellent!

Jobs & Work Abroad Programs

Browse international jobs and find the position for you..

Work abroad programs are a great way to earn more than just money. The list of advantages is practically endless: broadened horizons, new skills, improved independence, new friendships (and business relations), a new language added to your repertoire, and a boost to take your career dreams to the next level. You’ll be having so much fun overcoming new challenges and having new experiences that your job abroad won’t even feel like work; rather, it’ll be like one crazy (paid!) adventure.

So how do you even get a job abroad ? Well, you’ll want to start by finding the destinations where you can legally work abroad and then start your job search. Or, you can find a job that allows you to work abroad, and they will often sponsor your work visa.

You can also get a job overseas with no experience ! In fact, teaching English abroad is the perfect job in that particular scenario. However, if teaching isn’t your true calling, you can either apply for international positions while still at home, or apply for a work visa abroad and figure things out once you arrive.

Here’s how to get a job abroad:

  • Choose a destination. Places like Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland grant Working Holiday Visas to citizens of certain countries and who meet an age requirement. If you want to work abroad for a year or permanently, then you’ll want to secure a job offer prior to applying for work visas abroad.
  • Choose your field. Sometimes, it’s easier to figure out what kind of job you want prior to choosing the destination. The demand for certain positions is higher in some countries than others, which will make your job search a lot easier (or more challenging).
  • Apply to open job opportunities. Once you know where you want to go and what kind of job you want overseas, then it’s time to start applying to work abroad programs! The length of this process will vary depending on your qualifications and prior experience, and perhaps even your proficiency in the local language. 
  • Apply for a work visa. Once you find your job, then you can apply for a work visa. Most likely, you’ll need to show proof of a job offer in order to qualify. There should be someone at your new workplace who is in charge of assisting you with planning your trip abroad.

The best types of jobs abroad depends on what kind of experience you’re looking for. Do you want to only work for room and board? WWOOFING is for you. Are you okay with working odd jobs here and there in order to fund your travels around the world? You can find short term and seasonal work on orchards, vineyards, and farms in countries like Australia and New Zealand. Or, if you want to start a permanent career abroad, nurses, program developers, software engineers, marketers, and teachers are needed all over the world.

Your options for working abroad will depend on your nationality. You’ll want to find the easiest countries to get a work visa for citizens of your home country, since the process of applying for work visas can be drawn out and complicated. For Americans, it’s exceptionally easy to get short term work visas in New Zealand, Australia, and Ireland. However, as previously mentioned, you can get sponsored for work visas almost anywhere as long as you have a valid job offer beforehand.

There are lots of reasons for working overseas ! Perhaps the earning potential is much higher in a country abroad than at home. Or maybe there are better job opportunities overseas in your chosen field. Or maybe, like so many of us, you just really want to be able to live abroad sustainably! Being able to work abroad means being able to travel and immerse in new cultures indefinitely—and that sounds like a dream come true to us.

6 Bad@%$ Work Abroad Programs for Grown-@%$ Adults

by Steph Dyson - Last updated on June 5, 2017

facebook icon

  • Before You Go

Let’s face it: while the bank of mom and dad was once an excellent option for an interest-free loan (*cough* handout *cough*) for traveling the globe, one day you’ve got to stand on your own two grown-up feet.

Paid work abroad programs for adults

Ok, we know that all work and no play makes Jack (well, any traveler) a dull boy. Which is why there’s no better way than to fulfil wanderlust and calm those itchy feet than with paid work abroad programs . Yup, you read that correctly: it is possible to work and travel, all while leaving your parents busting with pride, your peers marvelling over your Insta-perfect photos, and your future employers swooning over the new skills etched onto your resume.

But how can you track down these barely believable workplace adventures, aka work abroad programs for adults? Well, my friend, I’m glad you asked. Let me introduce you to the land of work AND play, a place where novice skiers can transform to pros in a season and where a TEFL certificate can get you a teaching job in literally any part of the world.

[ Read the GoAbroad Top Travel Destinations Report for 2018 ]

Hand picked (and paid) work abroad programs.

While the experience you gain will be worth your weight (x100) in gold, it doesn’t hurt to earn some cash in exchange for putting all of those hours in. That’s why we’ve brought you this shortlist of paid work abroad programs, in Europe , Australia , and beyond. 

1. Become a friend to the ocean and get paid to help with turtle conservation.

sea turtle on a beach

Few paid work abroad programs are as turtley awesome as this one: working with the little critters on the enchanting shores of Cape Verde, a small archipelago of ten volcanic islands off the coast of West Africa. 

Ideally, you should have previous experience and an insatiable passion for tagging, monitoring and practically living and breathing all things turtle. But if not, never fear; instead, check out these volunteering programs where you can lend a helping hand working with marine wildlife and quickly gain all the skills you need to apply.

Ultimately, this is a pretty niche job and one of the paid work abroad programs ideal for anyone with an undergrad in marine biology or an interest in moving into this field of work.

2. Get your hands dirty in the Australian outback.

Uluru at daybreak

News flash: it’s not just kids who get all the fun. No, while Australia might be top of the list of places for an adventure travel program abroad , grown-ups can go down under and learn what life’s really like in the outback with a rural work program in Australia. 

Don’t worry, it’s unlikely you’ll find yourself reliving the reptile wrestling highlights of Crocodile Dundee; instead, you’re more likely to be working as a ranch hand, driving a tractor around the outback, or galloping through the red dusty lands of the Australian backwaters on your own horse.

This job probably isn’t for anyone who minds getting their hands a bit dirty and who isn’t so sure about getting a bit more up-close and personal with Australia’s frankly bonkers selection of mildly dangerous animals. But if you’ve got a sense of adventure and a desire to get off-the-beaten-track in one of the world’s most popular places for traveling, then this is the ultimate bada$$ work abroad program for you.

3. Say bonjour to a ski pass and a season cooking up a storm in Switzerland.

cold snow covered ski lift

For most wanting to learn how to work and travel, the hospitality industry is often the most obvious choice, particularly for those with little experience in other sectors and with a desire to work anywhere across the globe. 

Sure, the old adage “if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen” is true; working in a professional kitchen is certainly not for the faint-hearted. But if you know your way around a stove and can identify a knuckle pounder from a mortar and pestle in a line up, a job as a chef at an international Swiss ski camp is not just a great way to grow your resume but gives you plenty of chances to hit the slopes and, well, cool down a little.

Not quite so comfortable in the kitchen? Call yourself “Soux” and get yourself a role as a hotel kitchen assistant . You won’t be getting rich quick, but with the wages enough to keep you in a ski pass and beer for the season - and plenty of free time to learn how to nollie and powder slash with the best of them – you’ll find that a job in the hospitality industry is one of the most ideal work abroad programs for adults.

But if you’re after more than just a slice of the adventure in the afternoons and weekend, instead hit the slopes for the season, with a season training at a world-class resort in Banff, Kelowna, Revelstoke or Vancouver to become snowboard level one coaching qualified.

While this does require some initial outlay to get you trained, it does come with a guaranteed job offer. So once you’re able to skim down those slopes with the elegance of a swan on skis (well, maybe better), you won’t be looking back!

4. Grab your pen and get copywriting in Peru.

Man typing on a computer

If you’re a bit more handy with, well, your hands and a pen, there are plenty of other work abroad programs to strike your fancy. Jet off to Peru for an entry level copywriter position where you’ll write content for various websites, all while attending Spanish classes and getting to know your way around South America’s most delectable culinary city, Lima.

You’ll also find that with weekends free to hop on a plane and head over to the grand Inca citadel, aka Machu Picchu in the south-east of the country or checking out the waves at Peru’s top beach resort, Mancora, you’ll hardly feel like you’re working.

5. Live in Europe’s most magical cities as a summer school director. 

group of friends sitting around campfire

Culture vultures will want to sink their teeth into work and travel abroad programs that see you living in some of Europe’s most charming cities: Florence, Barcelona, Milan, or Rome.

Regardless of whether you’re a qualified teacher, graduate student or undergrad hoping to widen their skillset and live in some truly magical cities, this job is the way of spending summer abroad – and earning some cheeky euros along the way. 

6. The most versatile work abroad program of them all: teach English anywhere in the world!

empty classroom

One of the most tried and tested ways of finding a paid work abroad program is through a TEFL course: aka a qualification for teaching English that proves you know your salt when it comes to irregular verbs, the tenses, and can at least start to explain why English spelling makes absolutely no sense.

The possibilities of spending a month or even more teaching English anywhere in the world are endless and open to applicants whether they’ve already studied for a TEFL certificate or not (If you’re the latter, check out our huge selection of accredited TEFL courses , read about these TEFL courses that practically guarantee you a job and how to ace those interviews for teaching English abroad ).

Expect to pay upwards of $1,000 to study abroad and then watch as the job offers rake in: whether teaching alongside the Pope (well, nearly) in the Vatican City or chowing down on bratwurst and a stein of local bier at any one of Germany’s most lively cities, such as Munich, Berlin, or Hamburg .

[ See ALL options for work abroad programs for adults ]

Make your dreams of working and traveling abroad come true.

We promise you: work and travel abroad are not just the stuff that warm, fuzzy dreams are made of - it is possible to make a wage and see the globe at its finest. But all the best work abroaders follow some simple slices of advice.

Program reviews matter.

The best work abroad experiences are those where the keen applicant has done his or her homework and so there aren’t any surprises when they arrive. This is where program reviews and chatting to previous participants come into play. Remember, working abroad isn’t just about you working for an employer, it’s the job itself working for both of you.

There are hundreds of reviews available about jobs abroad , so always be sure to check them out and don’t be shy to contact the program to ask to be put in touch with someone else who’s done the program before and can give you the lowdown. 

Nail the application.

Firstly, applying for positions that suit your experiences or interests is a sure-fire way of making sure you make a good impression on your employers and enjoy every moment of your time abroad - not just those hours spent outside of work (Psst, you can sometimes even get a job overseas with no experience !).

Take it seriously.

Secondly, don’t be the person who treats a job abroad less seriously than one back in your home country. Prove you’ve mastered the art of adulting and be their star employee. Not only will you be guaranteed some stellar references, but it might even lead to you being asked to come back again next year.

Leave your preconceptions at home.

Finally, leave your preconceptions at home. Arriving with an open-mind to the cultural differences that you’ll no doubt encounter and behaving like an excitable sponge as you soak them all up is the magic sauce for a truly unforgettable experience working abroad.

We’re just getting started with paid work abroad programs! 🎉

cheers with wine

Finding work abroad that can pay the bills and give you a wealth of experience might sound too good to be true, but lucky for you, those opportunities are out there. Be diligent in your hunt and match your skills to job availability. Most importantly, be flexible and adaptable — two key skills any expat can surely attest to the importance of. Life abroad doesn’t always go as planned (though we do our best to help plan for potential risks ), but it’s always worth the ride. Enjoy!

Feeling overwhelmed? We’ve got the personalized advice you need

How Does the Program Work?

You will be welcomed as a visitor with a U.S. Department of State J-1 visa. This visa allows you to live and work in the United States for up to four months during your university summer break. It also gives you the possibility to travel for an additional 30 days after your job ends.

Visitors with J-1 visas require a sponsor. As a student in the CIEE Work & Travel USA program, CIEE is your sponsor. We’re responsible for making sure you are prepared to live in America, have access to a good job with a responsible employer, and have a meaningful cultural exchange experience. We also monitor your health, safety and well-being while you are in this country.

You will be working for one of thousands of employers located all across the United States. Your representative can tell you all you need to know about your employment options.

  • Be able to function in English, both at work and in a community
  • Have a pre-arranged job (CIEE can help)

It’s time for your J-1 Summer Work Travel Visa

THE J-1 Summer Work Travel (SWT) programme is an incredible opportunity for students and recent graduates to explore a new culture, gain work experience, and earn money to fund their education in Jamaica. SWT participants work at US summer camps, theme parks, restaurants, hotels, and more.

The US Embassy in Kingston issued more than 7,500 J-1 visas in 2023 for SWT participants, ranking Jamaica third among all participating countries in the world.

Q: Who is eligible for the J-1 SWT Visa?

You must be currently enrolled as a full-time student at an accredited, post-secondary, classroom-based academic institution to qualify for SWT. First-year students must have completed at least one semester prior to the programme’s start date. Final-year students may also be eligible to participate in SWT if they apply prior to graduation and their graduation is within one year before the SWT programme’s start date.

Q: How do I find an SWT programme?

The embassy cannot help you find an SWT programme for you. To find a programme that may interest you, we recommend you visit https://j1visa.state.gov/programs/ and https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/study/exchange.html. In Jamaica, the Ministry of Labour and Social Security maintains a list of approved overseas employment agencies which can be accessed at https://www.mlss.gov.jm/departments/employment-agency-unit/.

Q: What do I need for my SWT visa application?

All applicants must fill out the DS-160 visa application at https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/, pay the application fee and the SEVIS fee, and schedule a visa appointment at https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-jm/niv. Please make sure to bring the following required documentation to the interview:

Valid passport

Form DS-160 (confirmation page)

Two passport-size photos (taken less than 6 months ago and against a white background)

Completed and signed form DS-2019

SEVIS fee payment receipt.

The consular officer may also request proof of an applicant’s full-time student status so it is strongly recommended that SWT applicants bring registration documents, transcripts, and/or status letters.

Q: Do I have to appear for an interview to participate in SWT?

Starting this year, if you have previously been issued a J-1 SWT visa you may qualify to submit your renewal application without an in-person interview. The scheduling website will prompt applicants who are qualified for the interview waiver to submit their required documentation and passport through our courier service; all others should schedule an interview at the earliest convenience. Even renewals may be called in for interview; the embassy will advise individual applicants directly if this is needed.

Q: When should I submit my application?

We encourage applicants in all visa classes to apply as early as possible in advance of their intended travel. The typical wait time for a nonimmigrant visa interview is less than a month for all visa classes and less than one week for J-1 visa applicants. To secure a time slot in advance of your programme start date, please schedule your appointment as soon as possible, once you have your required documents.

You can find more information about how to travel to the United States on our website https://jm.usembassy.gov/ and the website of our authorised service provider at https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-jm/niv. Keep on top of embassy news on our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/pages/US-Embassy-Jamaica and by following @USEmbassyJA on Twitter and Instagram. We also answer general visa questions on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Airplane nautical miles (NMs) should be converted into statute miles (SMs) or regular miles when submitting a voucher using the formula (1 NM equals 1.15077945 SMs).

For calculating the mileage difference between airports, please visit the U.S. Department of Transportation's Inter-Airport Distance website.

Error, The Per Diem API is not responding. Please try again later.

No results could be found for the location you've entered.

Rates for Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. Territories and Possessions are set by the Department of Defense .

2 Choose a date

Rates are available between 10/1/2021 and 09/30/2024.

The End Date of your trip can not occur before the Start Date.

Traveler reimbursement is based on the location of the work activities and not the accommodations, unless lodging is not available at the work activity, then the agency may authorize the rate where lodging is obtained.

Unless otherwise specified, the per diem locality is defined as "all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city, including independent entities located within those boundaries."

Per diem localities with county definitions shall include "all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city as well as the boundaries of the listed counties, including independent entities located within the boundaries of the key city and the listed counties (unless otherwise listed separately)."

When a military installation or Government - related facility(whether or not specifically named) is located partially within more than one city or county boundary, the applicable per diem rate for the entire installation or facility is the higher of the rates which apply to the cities and / or counties, even though part(s) of such activities may be located outside the defined per diem locality.

Additional information about International Student Program reforms

Ottawa, February 5, 2024— Further information is being provided to clarify the announcement of an intake cap on new international study permit applications and other changes . International students make important contributions to Canada’s campuses, communities and economy; however, we have seen unsustainable growth in the International Student Program in recent years. These recently announced reforms will support sustainable population growth in Canada and improve system integrity, while helping to ensure that international students have a positive experience in Canada.

1. Cap and provincial attestation letter

As of 8:30 a.m. ET on January 22, 2024, most new post-secondary international students at the college or undergraduate level must provide a provincial attestation letter (PAL) from a province or territory with their study permit application. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will return any application received that does not include a PAL, unless otherwise exempt.

This attestation will serve as proof that the student has been accounted for under a provincial or territorial allocation within the national cap. Provinces and territories have been asked to have a plan in place for issuing PALs by March 31, 2024. The Government of Canada is working with the Government of Quebec to determine how the certificat d’acceptation du Québec pour études could serve as a PAL.

International students whose applications were received by IRCC before 8:30 a.m. on January 22, 2024, as well as those who have already been approved for a study permit and intend to travel to Canada for an upcoming program, do not need to take further action as a result of the cap.

Who needs a provincial attestation letter?

  • most post-secondary study permit applicants
  • most non-degree granting graduate programs (for example, certificate programs and graduate diplomas)
  • anyone else not included in the exception list below

Who doesn’t need a provincial attestation letter?

  • primary and secondary school students
  • master’s or doctoral degree students
  • in-Canada visiting or exchange students studying at a designated learning institution Corrected on February 27, 2024
  • in-Canada study permit and work permit holders (includes study permit holders applying for an extension)
  • in-Canada family members of study permit or work permit holders
  • students whose application we received before 8:30 a.m. EST on January 22, 2024

2. Post-graduation work permit (PGWP) update for graduates of master’s degree programs

In recognition that graduates of master’s degree granting programs are excellent candidates to succeed in Canada’s labour market and potentially transition to permanent residence, we have made a change to the length of the PGWP, so that they have the opportunity to meet the required Canadian work experience in order to apply for their permanent residence.

Starting on February 15, 2024, a longer, 3-year post-graduation work permit will be available to those who are graduating from a master’s degree program that is less than 2 years and who meet all other PGWP eligibility criteria.

The length of PGWPs for programs other than master’s degrees will continue to align with the length of the study program, to a maximum of 3 years.

Who is eligible for a longer post-graduation work permit (PGWP)?

  • Graduates of programs that are at least two years in length at PGWP-eligible designated learning institutions are eligible for a 3-year PGWP, as are graduates of master’s degree programs less than 2 years in length.

3. PGWP eligibility for public-private partnership college programs

Some provinces allow public colleges to license their curriculum to be delivered by an affiliated private college. In these cases, students physically attend a private college, but graduate with a diploma from a public institution. Concerns have been raised with regard to the quality of education provided by these institutions, as well as the lack of sufficient student supports. The Auditor General of Ontario has also raised concerns about a lack of oversight into program quality and student services at these institutions.

As such, IRCC has made a change to restrict PGWPs for these institutions, anticipating that without the ability to apply for a PGWP, there will be a reduction in the number of international students enrolling in them.

Who is eligible for a PGWP after graduating from a public-private partnership college program?

  • International students currently enrolled will remain eligible for a PGWP if they meet other program eligibility criteria.

Who is not eligible for a PGWP after graduating from a public-private partnership college program?

  • New students enrolling in this type of program will not be eligible for a post-graduation work permit.

4. Changes to open work permit eligibility for spouses

In the coming weeks, eligibility for open work permits for the spouses and common-law partners of international students will be updated.

Who can get an open work permit?

  • Eligibility is limited to the spouses and common-law partners of students in graduate (master’s and doctorate) and professional degree–granting programs only.
  • Once these changes are in effect, spouses and common-law partners of international students seeking to extend their existing work permit will continue to be eligible under this stream.

Who will not be eligible for an open work permit?

  • The spouses and common-law partners of international students in other levels of study, including undergraduate and college programs, will no longer be eligible for an open work permit unless they already hold an open work permit under this stream.

Travel Advisers: When to Let a Professional Plan Your Trip

An illustration of a person sitting on a folded-out map with books, papers and coffee laid out around the area. That person is inside the head of a beige-colored person wearing a teal telephone headset, and drawings of the Eiffel Tower, a compass, a signpost, a jet plane, mountains and other travel imagery are all around the head.

By Julie Weed

Decades ago, your vacation most likely began with a visit to a travel agent, who relied on a combination of expertise and connections to find the best deals on plane tickets, hotels, tours and more. Since then, the internet has turned most of us into our own travel agents, and artificial intelligence software is making research and self-booking even easier. But for some trips, that special insider knowledge can still make a big difference.

So when should you hire a professional, and how does it all work? Here are some tips.

Why should I consider a travel adviser?

It’s easy for a traveler to do the research for a standard trip, said Chris Anderson, a professor at the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration, “so they should look for a specialist for the type of tour they are looking for, say a bike trip in Ireland, who can really add value.”

The insider knowledge offered by a travel adviser can add the most value to trips that have multicity itineraries, involve a wide age range of travelers , are very significant (like an anniversary vacation) or are to destinations you are unfamiliar with, said Gary R. Johnson, who has run the travel agency Woodside Travel in Seattle for nearly 30 years. An adviser could help you decide, for instance, in which order to visit European cities based on local events and transportation options.

What can an adviser give me that a booking site can’t?

Travel advisers can help you research the best destinations, lodging, or activities for your particular group and travel goals, offering up specific advice that might be hard or time-consuming to find yourself. Those specializing in cruises might know which cabin to choose if you are prone to seasickness, while a safari planner could help you decide which park would be best for bird-watching or seeing specific animals, like rhinos.

Travel advisers typically have relationships with tour companies, hotels and cruise lines, sometimes through networks. Those connections can allow advisers to offer extra perks such as late checkout, free breakfast, airport transfers, a welcome basket or a credit to spend on a cruise ship.

“A good travel agent will be a better steward of your travel budget than you are,” said Guy Rubin, managing director of Imperial Tours , which arranges travel in China.

When bad weather or other circumstances disrupt your itinerary, travel advisers often have direct lines of communication with providers and can do the work of rebooking and changing plans, saving you time and stress.

OK, let’s say I need help. How do I find an adviser?

Networks like the American Society of Travel Advisors and Travel Leaders have websites that can help you start your search for a travel adviser by answering a few questions about your desired trip. Once you have a handful to choose from, get on the phone with them to talk about what they might do for you, how they charge and the level of service you can expect. Special trips can cost thousands of dollars, so it’s worth investing time up front, Mr. Rubin said.

Make sure to read over the travel agent’s reviews and any user-generated social content that mentions them, Dr. Anderson said. “If there is no external validation, that’s a red flag.”

How do advisers get paid, and how much will it cost me?

Advisers receive commission from suppliers, typically 10 to 15 percent of the price, when selling cruises, lodging and tours. They also sometimes charge travelers a planning fee, from a few hundred dollars, which may be credited to the final bill if the booking is completed, all the way up to tens of thousands of dollars annually for a luxury concierge travel planner they can call on all year. Mr. Johnson said that he charges a planning fee the first time he works with customers. If they return for other trips, he waives the fee.

Advisers may be tempted to sell you something that will earn them a higher commission, Dr. Anderson said. But, he points out, the same is true for the large online services, which promote hotels that pay them larger commissions. Travelers can ask advisers about specific commissions they receive or how they are affiliated with the products they are recommending, he said.

Sometimes a local tour company will package transportation, lodging and experiences for an adviser, who tacks on a percentage before passing it along to a client. But a bill that is not itemized can make it harder to make trade-offs — between a more expensive hotel and a special experience, for example. If pricing transparency is important to you, discuss it with the adviser up front.

How are A.I. and other technologies affecting travel advisers?

While new technologies are allowing do-it-yourselfers to create their own itineraries online based on individual preferences, and to type questions directly into travel websites, advisers are also taking advantage of those technologies to improve their services. Joan Roca, chief executive of the upscale travel planning company Essentialist said his team “uses technology to enhance the human touch,” employing artificial intelligence to choose options from a database of travel offerings selected by a human team. If a couple wants to take an after-dinner stroll, for example, Essentialist’s app will offer up ideas of where to go, based on what part of the city the travelers are in and conversations they’ve had with their travel adviser.

American Airlines makes major change to loyalty program to get you to book direct

Sarah Joseph

The way travelers earn loyalty points and book flights is about to change significantly, thanks to a series of significant policy shifts by American Airlines. Starting May 1, the airline has announced a new rule in its loyalty program (American’s AAdvantage program), which will only award miles and loyalty points for bookings made through “preferred” travel agencies. This update represents a significant shift in how travelers will approach booking flights and maintaining loyalty statuses.

What’s changing for the American Airlines loyalty program?

The preferred status of travel agencies is now linked to their use of the New Distribution Capability (NDC). This change is nudges travelers to book directly with American Airlines or through specific agencies that align closely with their new booking systems. To be considered preferred, agencies must jump through all sorts of hoops, including new NDC usage thresholds.

Impact on travelers

As a frequent flyer, I’ve always valued the flexibility of booking through various platforms, often choosing the one offering the best deal or convenience. However, with this new policy, the ability to earn AAdvantage miles and points becomes tied to how and where the booking is made.

  • Reduced flexibility : For those of us who often shop around for the best deals, this change could limit our options. We might find ourselves confined to booking through a narrower range of agencies or directly with American Airlines to ensure we earn those valuable loyalty points.
  • Incentive to book direct : There’s a clear push for direct booking with American Airlines. While this might streamline the booking process for some, it does raise concerns about decreased competition and potentially higher prices in the long run.
  • Corporate travelers and leisure travelers diverge : The exemption for contracted corporate travelers and AAdvantage Business program members creates a divide. Leisure travelers, who often rely on a variety of booking platforms, might feel the pinch more than their corporate counterparts.

The broader implications

This policy shift is a strategic move that impacts the entire travel ecosystem. Travel agencies, especially smaller or independent ones, might struggle to meet the NDC thresholds, potentially leading to a loss of business or even closure. For the tourism industry, this consolidation of booking channels could mean less diversity and competition, which could mean higher prices and less comfort.

American Airlines’ decision to revamp its loyalty program by privileging certain booking channels is a significant pivot in the travel industry. For us, the travelers, it forces us to change how we book flights and earn loyalty rewards. While this may streamline some aspects of booking, it also raises concerns about flexibility, competition, and the broader impact on the travel and tourism sector. Adapting to these changes will require a new level of savvy in how travelers plan, book, and travel in the future.

For years, airports across the world have implemented the 100 ml liquid rule, which states that liquids packed in carry-on luggage must be in containers no larger than 100 ml. In the United States, this is better known as the three-ounce (3-1-1) TSA liquid limit. These restrictions were first implemented in 2006 after terrorists attempted to bring explosives disguised as soft drinks on a transatlantic flight.

Due to new computed tomography (CT) scanners, the liquid rules are set to change at several airports across Europe, making traveling with liquids much more convenient. But how does this technology work, and how will it affect the TSA liquid rules in the United States?

Research Cybersecurity - Remote Work Guidance

International travel remote work security requirements.

This guidance is intended to address security concerns when CU information and devices are used while traveling internationally. Planning ahead to incorporate the following guidance into your travel plans will reduce the risk of CU owned information and devices being compromised or stolen during and after your trip. 

Minimum Security Standards

Laptops or other portable mobile devices.

  • If your device is managed by OIT DDS (Dedicated Desktop Support) your device meets many of the security requirements listed on this page.
  • If you do not have a DDS managed device, you will be responsible for ensuring that your CU owned and IT managed device has the necessary security requirements below prior to leaving on INTL travel.
  • Please Note: If you need to report a lost or stolen device while traveling, follow the process outlined on this page as soon as possible.

Additional Device Security

Once you have acquired a departmental loaner or a clean computer, please ensure the following security best practices are in place on the system:

  • The laptop should be a single user laptop that requires login with a unique passphrase known only by the authorized primary user. 
  • For CU applications (Microsoft 365, MyCUInfo, etc.) do not save account information and passwords to autofill.
  • Least Privilege: Accounts used to login to the computer should be configured with the least privileges necessary for you to perform your job. Your primary login account should not have administrative privileges.
  • Limit System Complexity: Disable unnecessary services or applications. Disable File and Print sharing.
  • Screen Saver: Enable a screen saver that automatically locks the device after a period of 15 minutes of inactivity.
  • If your laptop is managed by OIT DDS it should be encrypted with PGP encryption.
  • If your laptop is not managed by DDS you can use other encryption products such as Bitlocker for Windows and FileVault for Macs.
  • Backups: Back up your device files and folders prior to leaving on your trip. This minimizes data loss in case of a damaged, lost, or stolen device.
  • Malware Protection: Keep security software (antivirus) up to date and run a scan when you return from your trip abroad prior to connecting to the CU network.
  • Patching: Prior to leaving on your trip, install the latest OS and third-party software patches as soon as the update is made available.
  • Firewall: Enable your operating system firewall if applicable.
  • Physical Security: Always maintain physical possession of your device and don’t place it in your checked bags.
  • Do not connect to public Wi-Fi networks. 
  • Disable your Wi-Fi network when working remotely.
  • Public Charging Stations: Do not use public charging stations.
  • External hard drives and thumb drives: Portable hard drives and thumb drives used while on travel should be encrypted.
  • Data Security: Prior to departing, remove all non-essential files and folders that contain CU data or your own personal data and store on an appropriate CU resource.
  • Device Disposal or Reuse: Sanitize your device by destroying all CU data before disposal or transfer.
  • Remote Access: All CU information accessed or transmitted while traveling must be done while utilizing the CU Boulder VPN.

Sponsored Research and University Highly Confidential Projects

In some situations, the above guidance will not be sufficient. If you will be performing remote work for a sponsored research project or any project which utilizes University Highly Confidential data, and/or working from a high risk country, contact the Research Cybersecurity team at [email protected] for further guidance.

If your project will include export-controlled material, you will need to work with the Office of Export Controls (OEC) to determine additional steps that must be taken to safeguard the material. You can contact the OEC team by emailing [email protected] .

Report a lost or stolen device

Reporting lost or stolen devices is important so that CU Boulder is aware of a potential loss of information that the university is legally or contractually bound to protect. This includes the loss or theft of university-issued or personally-owned devices or physical media (e.g. USB drives, hard drives, or paper files) storing CU information as well as devices that support critical university functions.

Take the following steps if a device is lost or stolen:

  • File a report with the local police department where the loss occurs. If lost or stolen while on the CU Boulder campus, file a report with the CU Boulder Police Department (303-492-6666).
  • Change passwords to all sensitive accounts you access with the device using a trusted computer.
  • Your current contact information.
  • College or Department involved.
  • Brief description of the incident and device.
  • General description of the type of information involved.
  • Was it sensitive (confidential, highly confidential, regulated or sponsored research) university information? Was it shared with or accessed by unauthorized people?
  • General description of the impact of the incident, if known
  • Is the device encrypted?
  • Are any other known resources affected?
  • Include the police report number and department information if outside of CU Boulder.

Victor Mukhin, Speaker at Chemical Engineering Conferences

Title : Active carbons as nanoporous materials for solving of environmental problems

However, up to now, the main carriers of catalytic additives have been mineral sorbents: silica gels, alumogels. This is obviously due to the fact that they consist of pure homogeneous components SiO2 and Al2O3, respectively. It is generally known that impurities, especially the ash elements, are catalytic poisons that reduce the effectiveness of the catalyst. Therefore, carbon sorbents with 5-15% by weight of ash elements in their composition are not used in the above mentioned technologies. However, in such an important field as a gas-mask technique, carbon sorbents (active carbons) are carriers of catalytic additives, providing effective protection of a person against any types of potent poisonous substances (PPS). In ESPE “JSC "Neorganika" there has been developed the technology of unique ashless spherical carbon carrier-catalysts by the method of liquid forming of furfural copolymers with subsequent gas-vapor activation, brand PAC. Active carbons PAC have 100% qualitative characteristics of the three main properties of carbon sorbents: strength - 100%, the proportion of sorbing pores in the pore space – 100%, purity - 100% (ash content is close to zero). A particularly outstanding feature of active PAC carbons is their uniquely high mechanical compressive strength of 740 ± 40 MPa, which is 3-7 times larger than that of  such materials as granite, quartzite, electric coal, and is comparable to the value for cast iron - 400-1000 MPa. This allows the PAC to operate under severe conditions in moving and fluidized beds.  Obviously, it is time to actively develop catalysts based on PAC sorbents for oil refining, petrochemicals, gas processing and various technologies of organic synthesis.

Victor M. Mukhin was born in 1946 in the town of Orsk, Russia. In 1970 he graduated the Technological Institute in Leningrad. Victor M. Mukhin was directed to work to the scientific-industrial organization "Neorganika" (Elektrostal, Moscow region) where he is working during 47 years, at present as the head of the laboratory of carbon sorbents.     Victor M. Mukhin defended a Ph. D. thesis and a doctoral thesis at the Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia (in 1979 and 1997 accordingly). Professor of Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia. Scientific interests: production, investigation and application of active carbons, technological and ecological carbon-adsorptive processes, environmental protection, production of ecologically clean food.

TSA is prepared for a busy spring break travel season, expects travel volumes at nearly 6% above 2023

WASHINGTON – As spring break travelers prepare for their vacation getaways, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is up for the challenge and is offering practical tips to help them plan for a smooth journey as they go through the security checkpoint and take to the skies. The busy peak spring break travel season begins around March 7 and continues through March 25.

“TSA screened a record number of passengers in 2023, and we expect that trend to continue this year,” said TSA Administrator David Pekoske. “So far in 2024, travel volumes are trending at nearly 6% above the same period in 2023. We always work closely with our airline and airport partners to plan for and meet the increasing travel demand while doing our best to maintain our wait times of 30 minutes or less in standard lanes and 10 minutes or less in TSA PreCheck ® lanes.”

TSA knows travelers put a lot of time and effort into planning the perfect spring break getaway, so we are providing the following tips and tricks to help make sure your special trip gets off to a great start:

Pack smart and remember the 3-1-1 rule. Make sure to start with an empty bag to avoid packing any prohibited items. If you’re heading to the beach, you may wonder how to pack your sunscreen. Any liquids, sunscreen containers and alcohol over 3.4 ounces must be packed in a checked bag. Liquids, aerosols, gels, creams and pastes are allowed in carry-on bags as long as each item is 3.4 ounces or less and placed in one quart-sized bag. Each passenger is limited to one quart-size bag of liquids, aerosols, gels, creams and pastes.

Unloaded firearms must be packed in a locked, hard-sided case in checked baggage only and must be declared to the airline. Travelers who bring firearms or other weapons to the security checkpoint face consequences . To avoid delays, passengers should search TSA’s “ What Can I Bring? ” webpage.

Be checkpoint ready and bring a valid ID. Arrive at the checkpoint with a mobile or printed boarding pass and readily available valid ID . Listen closely to and follow instructions from TSA officers for guidance through the screening process. At many checkpoints, you may be asked to insert your physical ID into one of our Credential Authentication Technology (CAT) units, where a boarding pass is not needed. Nearly 30 airports have a second generation of CAT, called CAT-2, which adds a camera with optional facial recognition technology and smartphone reader. This technology better detects fraudulent IDs.

Passengers who engage in unruly behavior at the checkpoint, the gate area or inflight may face substantial penalties and possible prosecution on criminal charges.

Travelers or families of passengers with disabilities and/or medical conditions may call the TSA Cares helpline toll-free at 855-787-2227 with any questions about screening procedures and to find out what to expect at the security checkpoint. If you call at least 72 hours prior to travel, TSA Cares also arranges assistance at the checkpoint for travelers with specific needs. For more information, visit the TSA Cares website .
