I was just on skype with my boyfriend and he asked, “is there not a place on the internet where you can ask people about what you’re going through with obtaining an Italian visa?” I said, no, I don’t think so. But here I am, asking you, wise old internet and people of the internet for answers.

I am a Canadian trying to apply for the working holiday visa for Italy. The steps are complicated and intricate. There are so many things to consider and so I have many questions and I don’t know where to get my answers. My main questions are:

Being an au pair, does it count as contract work for apply for this visa?

Will they tell me if I’m eligible as one of the 1000 that gets in every year?

So many things I need to know. If you have any knowledge about anything to do with this ridiculous process, please enlighten me, I will be forever grateful!

I hope someone may have some insight, maybe some of you have experience applying for this visa from Canada. Please! Let me know!

Hey! I don't usually check these at all but I quickly saw your message in my newsletter from the site. I'm a Canadian currently living in Bergamo, Italy and I also came on the Working Holiday Visa so I can tell you all about it if you like. I won't leave my e-mail here but if you go to my blog here: http://www.questadolcevita.com/

And click "Contact", you can e-mail me! I also do have a very brief, general post about the Working Holiday Visa: http://www.questadolcevita.com/lifestyle/applying-for-a-working-holiday-visa-a-guide-for-young-and-reckless-canadians

Ok hope to hear from you, I know the process can be confusing...wait until you actually get here haha.
