Can you help me get a Work Visa?

If you are applying from overseas, please note that we will only accept applicants with an approved visa or who are in the process of applying for one. If you apply and do not have permission to work in Canada, your application will not be considered.

Picking start dates?

Typically, our season starts between July 1st and 15th, but is variable based on seasonal conditions. We will notify our staff via email when we have an idea of when harvest will begin, usually in May. There is some flexibility for staff arrival dates if you have other employment proceeding us. Please be in touch with HR to coordinate your specific start date.

Picking end dates?

Usually, we estimate that picking will finish around the last week of August or into the first week of September.

Does Jealous Fruits spray pesticides?

Cherries are vulnerable to attack by insects and disease. In order to produce marketable fruit we apply control sprays as needed, using products registered and regulated by Health Canada. Our spray program is designed by our highly trained and accredited horticultural staff. 

We advise all pickers to only enter orchard blocks approved by your supervisor, and to not enter orchard blocks when spraying is active.
