Hi, I'm a Cegep student born in Canada and i've lived here all my life, but I have my portuguese nationality (don't have a portuguese passport though). Is it possible for me to work temporarily in Spain over the summer? Please post any solution to my problem thank you!

If you are national of Portugal, then you are entitled to travel and work freely in EU, and that includes Spain, be it for long term or just for the summer. There is no visa requirement. You MUST however, have at least an identity card or a passport to proof your identity and nationality. If you don't already speak Spanish, I would suggest for you to start learning now. Even in Madrid, there's a limited use of English, and for dealing with paperworks etc to have knowledge of Spanish would be very useful.

Get that Portuguese passport and you can work any where in the EEC. If you go to the tourist resorts, there will be a lot of English speaking businesses who employ English speaking staff to serve their British customers. Your Canadian accent will be a novelty and could be an asset in getting work. I would warn you that because of the exchange rates of £ to Euro a lot of Brits are not intending to go to Euroland next year so jobs for English speakers will probably not be as plentiful as in previous years.
