He was a manual laborer.

Legal Matter:
The price of the passage to Canada was raised to 175 livres plus a special charge for provisions and baggage. The cost of the passage for the majority of the engages had to be paid on the ship's return. Olivier did not have the money to pay for the voyage and sought out Jeanne Mance for help. Before the notary De Montreau, Olivier promised to repay Mance the money loaned for the price of his passage and that of his wife and child, within two years. In addition, Jeanne Mance agreed to provide their food during the passage. She even paid for a chest, bought from Daniel Guroy, for thirty one livres, twelve sols. Olivier would pay for the freight of the chest and its contents. Ten years later on 10 November 1669, Olivier received a receipt from Jeanne Mance indicating that he had paid his debt.
