Hallo,

Ich habe Zuhause Landwirtschaft und möchte gerne mal ins Ausland. Sehr gerne würde ich die Landwirtschaft in Kanada kennenlernen. Leider kann ich arbeitstechnisch nur 3 Wochen von Zuhause weg. Kennt jemand einen Farmer, der mich für 3 Wochen auf seiner Farm mitarbeiten lassen würde?

Mfg Andi

WILLKOMMEN hier im KF. Auch in der Landwirtschaft kann man als Tourist nicht mal fuer 3 Wochen mitarbeiten.

Hi im Forum, Flieger vom Kloster hat's schon gesagt: es ist mal eben so nicht möglich, weil illegal, sowohl für den, der "mitarbeitet" als auch für den Arbeitgeber. Sogar gegen Kost und Logis und auch, wenn es nur für 3 Wochen ist. Du bräuchtest ein Work Permit, das muss beantragt werden und ist m.E. nach ein zu großer Aufwand, wenn es wirklich nur für 3 Wochen sein soll! Aber wie wär's denn mal mit einem Kanada-Urlaub, damit du mal raus kommst? Ich weiß wovon du sprichst - wir haben Mutterkühe und einen großen Garten und können nur im Sommer/Herbst mal kurz weg. 3 Wochen sind schon viel zu lange für uns...
Liebe Grüße aus Alberta,

Schau dir das an,dort kannst dort Farmen finden die dich fuer Kost und Logis einstellen dürfen

Große Grauzone, Vorsicht!!! Das kann je nach Border Officer und Auslegung gleich zu Beginn in die Hose gehen. Bitte genau durchlesen und selbst entscheiden, ob nicht doch lieber mit Work Permit...
Btw es heißt: ein Visum, zwei Visa... *seufz*
Viel Erfolg!

Requirements to enter Canada

Visa Information

WWOOFing is legal in Canada. Foreign nationals volunteering on farms in exchange for room and board for a period of up to four weeks per farm do not require work permits. However, a visitor's visa may be required from certain countries. Please do your research and find out whether you need any kind of visa to enter Canada. We cannot provide advice on this issue - it is up to you to do the research and find out. If you are a citizen of another country, please visit the "Citizenship and Immigration Canada" website to see if you require a visitor visa to enter Canada.

A work permit is not required in situations where the unpaid work is short-term and where it is incidental to the main reason that the person is visiting Canada. Unfortunately, some border agents are NOT aware that VOLUNTEERING for foreigners is legal.

If you like you can print a copy (or refer this website to the Border Officer) of this letter from Citizen and Immigration Canada verifying WWOOF is not work - within parameters of Section 5.1 of Foreign Workers Manual and this letter from the Minister of Public Safety who is responsible for Canada Border Services Agency which states that BSO's (border service officers) did receive a memorandum confirming WWOOFs status in regards to Section 5.1, and also recommend requesting assistance of the superintendent on duty if difficulties encountered.

When WWOOFing without a Work Visa it is a must that the main reason for entering Canada is as a “tourist”.

The better prepared you are, and be very polite, the less time you take up of the Border Agents – who are typically very busy and have a high-stress job.

Don’t provide any more information than exactly what they ask you for. Have all the paperwork mentioned on this page available in case it is needed.

One criteria to be aware of, is the need to have enough funds available to sustain you while in Canada. And to be very polite and honestly answer all questions.

Average cost: Staying at a campsite, cooking own food and getting around on foot/hitchhiking will run you less than $25/day. Stay at a hostel, cook in the kitchen and get around on a backpacker bus for US$40-60/day.

Print out the following quote to have available to show the Customs Agent if needed, in case they make it difficult for you.(it has happened to others) Should you encounter difficulties with the Canadian Border Services Agency process request the assistance of the superintendent on duty. The following link refers to "Volunteer work conducted by foreign STUDENTS". Please see the 4th paragraph down (on the Citizenship & Immigration website for more information) "There may be other types of unpaid short-term work..."

The above link refers to "foreign students" but all "TOURISTS" are covered also. The Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) "Foreign Worker Manual FW 1, Item 5.1..." states the same information but referencing "tourist" as follows:

"There may be other types of unpaid short-term work where the work is really INCIDENTAL to the main reason that a person is visiting Canada and is not a competitive activity, even though nonmonetary valuable consideration is received. For instance, if a tourist wishes to stay on a family farm and work part time just for room and board for a SHORT PERIOD (i.e., 1-4 weeks), this person would NOT BE CONSIDERED A WORKER."

PRINT OUT THIS QUOTE AND TAKE IT WITH YOU AND SHOW THE CUSTOM AGENT. IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS. TELEPHONE US (COLLECT) IMMEDIATELY (250-999-7131 Monday to Friday, and we make every effort to be available by cell at 250-354-2942 on weekends but cannot guarantee availability), GET THEIR TELEPHONE NUMBER AND NAME. WE WILL HELP YOU IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS ENTERING CANADA.



The key is that your visit to Canada is as a tourist on vacation and you will be WWOOFing part of the time – between tourist activities – and for no more than 4 weeks with each WWOOF host.

From The Government of Canada: Minister P. Van Loan " a memorandum was sent by Operations Branch of the CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) to all its officers on May 5, 2009, reminding them that foreign nationals volunteering on farms in exchange for room and board for up to 4 weeks per farm, do NOT require work permits"

Letter of Invitation

Some visitors to Canada may require a "Letter of Invitation". WWOOFers (volunteers) with this requirement would have to ask a perspective WWOOF Host(s) if they were willing to provide this letter on their behalf. There is no guarantee that such a letter will be provided as WWOOF Hosts are not obligated to do so. The "Letter of Invitation" requirements can be found via this link on the Citizenship & Immigration website "Letter of Invitation for countries whose citizens require a temporary resident visa to enter Canada"

Requirements to Enter Canada

The following information was extracted from Going to Canada website. Visit this website to check requirements for your own unique situation.

Requirements vary based on which country you are from. This example assumes you are from a country that does not require a Visa to visit Canada, and that you are visiting for less than six months.

Step 1. Gather the necessary documents—a valid passport or travel document that guarantees re-entry to the country that issued it.

Note: Other documents may be required. Contact a Canadian embassy, high commission or consulate for information on what you will need before coming to Canada.

Step 2. Make sure that you have proof of funds available to support yourself and your family members during your stay and to enable you to leave Canada, such as a bank statement, pay stubs, proof of employment or proof of travellers’ cheques. When entering Canada, you will also need to convince an immigration officer that you will leave Canada at the end of your visit.

Step 3 In addition to the above documents WWOOF Canada recommends you print a copy of your WWOOF Profile as proof of membership and present it if needed. Go to your profile page and choose "Printer-friendly version" to print your profile.

International Experience Canada (IEC) (previously known as the Working Holiday Program)

You may decide you would like to obtain a Working Permit to provide you additional working opportunities during your visit to Canada.

The Working Holiday enables participants from participating countries aged 18-35 to travel and take on work in Canada. It is the ideal formula for students and non-students who want to supplement their travel experiences with temporary work. The criteria for acquiring a working holiday visa varies based on which country you are from. The criteria listed below is broad and varies with each program.
•work is incidental to your main intention of taking a holiday
•you are between 18 and 35 years old
•you are single or married without children
•you must prove you have sufficient funds to support yourself during your initial stay
•you should have a return or onward ticket or sufficient funds to purchase a ticket to leave the country at the end of your stay

Visit this link to see eligible countries and to link to further details regarding the IEC program for that country. Participating Countries and Territories - Youth Coming to Canada

There may be other types of unpaid short-term work where the work is really incidental to the main reason that a person is visiting Canada and is not a competitive activity, even though nonmonetary valuable consideration is received. For instance, if a tourist wishes to stay on a family farm and work part time just for room and board for a short period (i.e., one to four weeks), this person would not be considered a worker. Work on a farm that is expected to extend beyond four weeks would require a work permit.

Man sollte sich aber trotzdem im Klaren sein, dass das in die Hose gehen kann, sofern einem nicht geglaubt wird, dass es bei den 1-2 Wochen bleibt..

Auch der Begriff "family farm" ist ja interpretationsfähig.
