Some employers have probation periods so it's important to put your best foot forward from the beginning. 

 

What if I don't get a job?

If you are unsuccessful with your first job preference, you will be able to apply for other jobs in Canada. If you are still unsuccessful, our Program Team will support you through the process to find other jobs in the Tourism industry in Australia & your visa processing fee will be refunded.
