Yeah, if you want to work for a year only, it's a good idea.

You can check swap.ca although that is the website for Canadians, it does have some links if you are going from another participating country to Canada. There is also bunac.org for British and USA holiday workers. I have no experience with how easy or hard it may be to change status from working holiday to regular work permit. I don't think it would be a big deal but I don't know anybody who has done this.

the sites i seen shows that the working holiday visa is good for one year then you have to leave canada but you can renew it out side of canada and come back in.

If you just want to travel, you don't need a visa if you are from the US, but you can use that visa to work for 6 months and maybe you can get the employer to change you to a regular work permit so you can stay.
