I've recently created a thread regarding ways to find a technical job in Canada relating to the diploma I just gained in electro-technology. But at the moment I just need to land a basic job in Canada and ideally the kind of job they promote at the working holiday agencies here in New Zealand which are usually at the Canadian Ski fields. A job like this would defintely suit me initially since I get to experience the Canadian Rockies (something I really want to do). I intend to extend my working holiday visa status and eventually become a perminant resident and land a more technical job.

I unfortunately missed the job fair program for this year and now I sit here with a 2-year working holiday visa and no job lined up (currently unemployed but have cash from just selling my car). I'd love to work at one of the places they (iep.co.nz) promote ie. Grouse Mountain, Fairmont Chateau Whistler, Panorama Mountain Village, Asessippi Ski Area and get a basic job cleaning, lift operator or whatever. But visiting their respective websites always seems to revert me back to the working holiday agencies of which I already missed the boat for this year. I dont want to wait till the next job fair as I'm in a position to leave right now, all I have to do is book my plane ticket, ill be going by myself.

What options do I have to land a seasonal job at one of these ski field/mountain resort locations? should I just fire off a tonne of emails to them and request an interview since I cant leave almost immideately? Advice/help all appreciated. Thankyou.

Sorry I've posted this in wrong section.
