No visa for a visit; you will need a visa for work. Here are a couple of sites with information:

http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/united_kingdom-royaume_uni/visas/work_temp_travailler.aspx?view=d

spend some time with google to get more informantion

Legally, no one will hire you as a UK citizen until you have a visa.

In Montreal, you'll struggle to get a job (even flipping burgers in McDonalds) if you don't speak French fluently. No problem if you can of course!

What is so difficult?
You book a ticket, have a vacation and go home.
Then apply LEGALLY for a work permit.
Once said LEGAL work permit is issued to you book flight and return!

Hi....

Question 4 needs more options. 'Once a week, once a month, once a year', is inappropriate.

Question *9 needs changing....

About how much you spend in a host country during your trip?

You need to include - 'Varies on each trip'.

And question 10 asks....

Which of the following factors are important for you in a host country? (1=most important; 10= less important)

There is no 1-10 option, just tick boxes.

The 'Other (please specify)' options don't work.
If someone puts a reply in it, as opposed to ticking an irrelevant box, it won't accept the answer.
The whole thing needs re-doing.
