I just received confirmation from the TECO in Ottawa saying that Canadians can join the working holiday programme once again so I am opening this thread if anyone wants to contribute for any other countries if they receive confirmation. They reopened applications a couple days ago in Canada for people to come to Taiwan for a working holiday. ---

What’s the numbers coming to work in Taiwan for the TWH these days ? Or at least the year prior to the pandemic ? ---

I’m not sure. It was closed in March last year when foreign tourists were banned. I’m hoping this topic will be seen by Google. ---

Just an anecdote. Remove if irrelevant. My niece wanted to come for a working holiday a couple of years back. She represents her country at touch rugby; she’s fit and strong. The job was something to do with harvesting rice. Her: Uncle Jimi! I want to come to Taiwan in July for a working holiday harvesting rice! What do you think? Me: July? Harvesting rice? Are you drunk? Her: No! I don’t drink! Me: Have you been to Taiwan in mid-summer? Her: No! It will be a fun experience. Me. Look. You may be a Springbok, fit and strong, but you’re going to shit bricks doing manual labor outside in July. I have serious doubts how fulfilling this “experience” would be. Her: Oh. She was still going to do it, but had visa problems. So she came to hang with me and the wife for a few weeks instead, and had the time of her life. ---

It’s not true. Many things cost similar prices to Taiwan. Australia being an expensive place is a myth. Examples fuel is the same price, clothes are cheaper, technology is cheaper. House prices are the same. Fresh food is about the same. For me, I live frugally, the cost of living is the same. The major difference is rent, here is cheaper, cars are much cheaper- well they were before Covid. The to Taiwanese people I know who travelled to Australia on a working holiday managed to save 1million tnd each in two years.
