Stressed finding work (WHV)

[simonvee]

Hi all,

I am planning to apply for a WHV to enter Canada in April 2010. I am from Australia, thus my WHV will be valid for 2 years. I am 26 so I can renew it once it expires because I can still apply given that I am under 30 years of age. My area of concern is will employers want to hire someone who is there on a WHV. I.e. Employers may think "You are just here for 2 years, why should I hire you". Ofcourse ppl on WHV work in hospitality (e.g. ski resorts) but I want a job in the white-collar industry. I am concerned for this reason. Does anyone have any ideas or story to share? That will be appreciated.

Employers wont have any issues with your status in canada. I have been on a foreign worker status till now after i finished my studies. If you meet all the legal requirements, there should not be any problem.
I have been through a few interviews and not come accross this question that you are here only for 1/ 2 years or so...but even if that question comes up...you can say that you wish to apply for PR here and that does take only 1 year to finalise....just an added line which can make the employer think that you are keen in staying and wish to work here....Hope it makes sense!!
