    Canada is a great place to work. But remember these dollars per month may be in Canadian Dollars. You may want to look at this website as well.
    They have plenty of listings and you have 4 pages of do it yourself bookings as well.

    All I'm going to say about booking clubs through an agency sight unseen is - "caveat emptor"! More often than not there is a REASON that clubowners list their dancer openings with an agent, and agree to pay the agent a "finder's fee" to send girls to the club. With European or Asian clubs, an agency does fulfill a useful role of making foreign language business and government arrangements. However, if you're talking about Canadian clubs, any US girl can drive across the border and set herself up in a decent club AFTER she has seen how the place operates.

    Canada has good clubs and bad clubs just like the USA. Clubs located in certain parts of Canada are booming - but others are hurting badly. Also, you do need to keep the currency exchange rate in mind - doing full contact lap dances for the equivalent of US$13 all night long can wind up being very hard work! Plus there's one thing that Canadian club customers have never seemed to learn - how to TIP at the stage rail!

    Just my two cents as a Canadian

    I agree with Melonie , just as everywhere else there are good clubs and bad, and I too would wonder why clubs near the border would need to hire thru an agency?

    Rules vary considerable from province to province, and as I understand it British Columbia (vancouver) has alot of agents as does Alberta because most of the shows are stage shows and you are paid for each set. Generally these clubs have limited vip/lap opportunities due to distance rules.
    Ontario is more like a typical club scene with laps and vip etc some nice big glamour clubs some dives, and everything in between.

    Oh and I agree most clubs dont have stage tipping, except the ones in Alberta that I mentioned earlier.
    As I have matured,I have learned "that one good turn....usually gets most of the blankets",-)

    Definitely a big difference in the West/East business here!
    BC and Alberta clubs are almost completely agency booked (paid stage shows, 18 minute sets with full costumes) - my understanding of the Ontario scene is that agency presence is minimal.
    It's also important to note that tipping in Alberta is done in a completely different way - with our $1 and $2 coins, it is basically a coin toss, usually encouraged by promo - posters, etc. Yet in BC, tipping is technically illegal (WTF!), thankfully rarely enforced, but tips are few and far between, and coins are generally not acceptable - our smallest bill is a $5, so no wonder tips are rare
    There are a few clubs in Vancouver, BC where you can just do private/VIP dancing, but the money is tough to make, and I doubt it would come close to the earning potential in Ontario or any of the US cities.
    The Canadian dollar is relatively strong right now though
