From our age 5 to age 22 Most of us are a part of the non stop ride of formal education whether you enjoy it or not. Nobody is getting even a chance to think why schooling must be a non-stop process until you are done. In fact, most of the students don't know what they really want to do with their life. They are simply passing from one grade to the next without any focus and ending up with no confidence and skills needed to begin a life of their own. But taking a working gap year between your education years can help you to become a much more confident person with greater focus towards future. These days 10% of men and women in countries like Australia, UK etc., allow themselves a gap year to explore the world and test themselves. It is a tradition that is slowly growing in popularity in places like North America also. A working vacation in Canada can be an outstanding experience since it is the second largest country in the world and famous for its natural beauty and abundant wildlife. Even in the big cities of Canada you are just a short ride away from pristine wilderness. Usually people prefer to take a working vacation after high school graduation and before starting college or after graduating from the college and before taking a profession. Many jobs you do in this gap year can even pay you enough that you can actually save some money for your future plans. But, what you want to do in these working holidays is completely depending on your creativity and desires. You may teach, travel, intern, perform service, or choose some combination of each. People usually work on conservation projects in national parks, do some services in third world countries, do missionary work, teach English in Asia and so on. 

Lots of mountain jobs like bus chaperones, trail crew, parking attendants etc., are there in Canada. Many young, adventurous and enthusiastic students from all over the world love to spend their working holidays in Canada just to discover the magic of the mountains. Choosing a working gap year experience that can challenge you emotionally, physically, and intellectually may push you far away from your comfort zone but will definitely help you to become a more matured person. There are plenty of volunteering possibilities like wildlife support programmes or working as a camp counsellor etc., to spend working holidays in Canada. Volunteering programes can also help you to stand out from the common crowd while applying for a job in the future. If you utilise this opportunity effectively to gain practical work experience relevant to your future career plans then you can even understand whether you are really fit for that career. Lots of consultants and companies are there to find and provide the suitable working vacation experience for you if you tell them your preferences. But be sure to make use of these holidays fully and come back with a sense of what your goals are and how to achieve them.
