User @soywalter.enciso recounted through several videos his experience in the Canadian country, pointing out that It is common for several people to leave for work during the season and return to their respective countries with their earnings.who are usually from growing economies to live comfortably.

He criticized the fact that if the average salary in Mexico, even in offices, is 200 pesos a day, that is 3 thousand pesos or even double in case of people more experienced in harvesting.

However, he explains that he has to fill boxes between 20 and 25 pounds (11 kilos) a day. He said that in three or four months you can earn enough money to live in Mexico for an entire year. For example, if you work 120 days, or almost four months without a break, you can earn 420,000 Mexican pesos.

Faced with the provocative idea of ​​earning in a few months what a Mexican with an average salary of 8 thousand pesos per month would not see even in a full year of work users started asking questions of all kinds to the user.

He explained that the harvest season can start between July and August, but it is better to be in Facebook groups where there are several “gatherers” that information circulates and even where farmers post their offers seasonal employees.

He said that once you have this information you need to get in touch with the farm or even other people who are planning to reach the harvest, so you just have to buy a ticket to Canada.

Even so, he pointed out that one must also think that it is possible that the affected farm no longer needs more pickers, so one must have a plan bwhich might mean looking for another one in the same area, since other cherry growers are concentrated there, as well as carry a minimum of 30 or 40 thousand pesos. The latter will also be important so as not to arouse suspicion at the airport.

If you arrive with money in the bank account, pretends to be a tourist in the eyes of immigration from Canada, so there should be no problem in that sense, he also advised to go with all the necessary documents such as passport or visa.

He also pointed out that although food is more expensive and one can spend between 100 and 150 Canadian dollars a week, or about 2,300 Mexican pesos, you save on accommodationsince he sleeps in a Villa in the same hectares of the farm and there are toilets, kitchen and refrigerators.
