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.

Hello,
After receiving the answer within 72 hours, I sent back my passport but an automatic answer came back to me asking me to either go directly through aircanada.com or by phone.
I saw other testimonials but no answer, that’s why I allow myself to insist :p

thank youuuuu

Hello,

Have any of you made the request through the form and booked your ticket, because I answered the form and I received an email asking me for a photocopy of my passport and that I would be contacted by phone to finalize the reservation and pay (by phone).
I find it strange to pay for your reservation by phone. Did you do this by phone and did you receive your tickets?

(I completely trust pvtiste and it’s a good plan especially this one with its association with Air Canada but I’m always a little afraid of scams or others). This is to reassure me and to be able to continue my reservation serenely.

Thank you!
Océane
