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)
Modification1,2 is possible3,4
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.

Who is eligible for this special deal?

Anyone (regardless of citizenship) who travels between Canada and France on a temporary study/work permit issued by Canada or France is eligible. This includes all permits under the IEC programme, as well as student, worker, and Working Holiday Visas. Partners of eligible individuals are also eligible, as long as they live together and book under the same reservation. As long as your Canadian or French permit/visa is valid, there is no limit to the number of times that you can benefit from this offer.

IMPORTANT - Child-fare flights do not qualify for this offer.

  • If your flight departs from Mainland France, your child can have one checked bag.
  • If your flight departs from the Antilles, your child does not have any checked baggage allowance.

At the top! I recommend.
Initially we booked with Air Transat who cancelled our tickets and no longer offered flights… so we turned to Air Canada, without regrets!
Everything went very well!

This good deal is perfect for PVT holders who, like me, only need a one-way ticket. The price was incredibly low for a Paris-Montreal flight. I recommend Ulysse, which is a very responsive and attentive team. The flight on Air Canada was perfect: very good service on board. It is also very appreciable to be able to benefit from 2 free checked suitcases. Only positive. Thank you Pvtistes.net and Ulysse

Great deal, we got away with it for less than €2,000 for 5 people and 7 x 23kg in the hold for Paris-Montreal. Very decent Air Canada company. The best part, the Ulysse team, very responsive and professional, and friendly 🙂 Thanks

I took advantage of this offer and it’s really worth it! I don’t know if I’ll be lucky enough to be able to use the same offer for the return (because I took a one-way ticket to come) but I hope so.
Result: 2 checked bags + 1 hand bag with AirCanada for less than €300 (arrival in September in Mtl from Paris), fire!

Little feedback:
It’s difficult to find a flight with this offer that matches our dates, but by checking every day and booking earlier than us, it should work…
Extremely simple in practice to book your flight. Same at the airport, no special procedure because of the offer.
Personally, it allowed me to take a Quechua camp bed, which is therefore considered a classic hold baggage of less than 23kg… Certainly atypical but useful ^^
So thank you very much for your offer!!

Hello! I would like to do a little recap of my experience with RESATRAVEL / the PVTistes team / Air Canada.

Having received my letter of introduction and with my job waiting for me, I decided to change my flight from Paris to Vancouver (with a stopover in Montreal) a week earlier. I received a flight proposal two days after my change request, in the evening, which I immediately confirmed and paid (145 euros). However, the next day, instead of receiving my travel document, I received a counter-proposal following an increase that asked me to pay an additional 300 euros. Surprised, I immediately called RESATRAVEL to clarify the situation – a person advised me to refuse the second proposal and to send a message to confirm that the first proposal had already been settled. Unfortunately, I did not hear back, so I decided to contact Mathieu for his help because the desired flight was 2/3 days later. He was immediately understanding and responsive, confirming that RESATRAVEL was unable to complete my flight change request in time, hence the significant price difference that was requested of me. Many emails were exchanged with the people concerned, and Mathieu did everything possible to resolve the problem. RESULT: The plane was postponed as requested and I will be reimbursed for the price difference that was billed to me. Everything is back to normal and I think it would NEVER have been possible without Mathieu’s intervention. The satisfaction of his members has been his priority for 16 years and I can only confirm this.

Another HUGE thank you to Mathieu and Caroline (Air Canada), as well as Soufiane (RESATRAVEL), for their professionalism and kindness. They handled the situation perfectly and are giving me the opportunity to realize my dream sooner than expected 😉

Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re great!

Elodie

It worked well when I needed them. The steps are simple, clear and they are responsive.

The only thing that hurts is the price! But the service is good.
