Which program? Do you mean the Cultural Representative Program?
They should come to interview to your country at least twice a year. Send your CV and wait for them to call you and tell you where the interviews will be.
You will be working at the Canadian pavillion either in Merchandise or in Food and Beverage, which is mainly Le Cellier Restaurant. You will be living at The Commons with rent deducted from your weekly paycheck.
I took part in the Fellowship Ambassador Program -that no longer exists- representing my country, and had a blast. Some of my canadian friends didn´t like wearing those costumes and making "beavertails" all year long, but the living experience pays for all the $hitty tasks you end up doing at work sometimes. :animwink: It´s worth it!
Hiya!
