Pvtistes.net is partnering with Air Canada, Canada’s largest national airline, to offer a special deal tailored to the needs of Working Holiday Makers, students, and temporary workers travelling between Canada and France.

What is the offer?

For your flights from Metropolitan France to Canada (one-way or round trip booking) and from Canada to Metropolitan France (one-way booking only), you can get special fares for the entire duration of your French or Canadian work/study permit. Benefits include the following:

2 free checked bags
(up to 23 kg each)

Modification^1,2 is possible^3,4

Cancellation is possible⁵

¹ €10 service fee is applied by the travel agency responsible for reservations.

² If the new ticket is more expensive than the original, you will be responsible for paying the difference. If the new ticket is less expensive, the difference will not be refunded.

³ Travel can only be booked up to 12 months in advance. For stays longer than 12 months, you should therefore purchase one-way tickets.

⁴ For flights originating in Fort-de-France et Point-à-Pitre: this Air Canada offer includes 2 checked bags, free modification of the travel date (except the service fee assessed by the travel agency mentioned above). Modifications after the first one will incur the €10 agency fee and also a €100 fee billed by Air Canada.

⁵ A fee of up to €190 may be withheld by Air Canada. You must request a cancellation. If you do not present yourself at the boarding gate without notifying Air Canada, you will not qualify for reimbursement.

Globe WHV insurance : Remember that both France and Canada require foreign Working Holiday Makers, among other permit holders, to purchase travel medical insurance for the duration of their stay, covering medical expenses, hospitalization, and repatriation. Learn more.
