good luck trying to find work for a month or two, most jobs make international workers sign papers stating they'll work for minimum 3-6 months.. especially if its their ski season

I deffinatly wont be going in the snow season coz i dont like the cold.
And if i have to stay longer then two months to work, I can do that.
Im kind of leaning towards barista/waitsperson or barwork, possibly retail, but I have no retail experiance.
And I will be staying in Vancouver.

So if anyone knows of websites where I can look for jobs in that area, it would be great.

as long as ur aware that the pay in USA/Canada is nowhere near as good as it is here, especially in hospitality, then thats all good! You gotta get the tips!
