I'm sorry if this has already been posted but is it possible to undertake an unpaid internship and part-time work (at the same time) with a working holiday maker visa?

Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much in advance!

Hi there,

Personnaly, I don't see why you couldn't because the only work that will eventually show up in the system, because of your social insurance number, is the one for which you get paid. I took the WHM and people were telling me that nobody really checks into the number of hours that you really work. I only used mine for one year so I was always under the 50% rule that says you cannot work full time for more than a year or you can work part-time for both years.

Then on my student visa I worked more than 20 hours per week on a few occasions and nobody said anything, even at my workplace.

I hope this helps in any way,

Myriam
