A career break in Canada provides you with all the time you need to explore the world’s second largest country and do it justice. Because of its size - coupled with the fact that ninety percent of the population lives within a hundred miles of the USA border - Canada is indisputably one of Planet Earth’s last great unspoilt wildernesses. On a career break in Canada you can really get away from it all and discover some truly stunning landscapes and wildlife. There’s so much to see and experience in Canada – from skiing in the Rocky Mountains to adventure expeditions that get you right back to nature.
