We work with great host employers passionate about helping international students get the best summer internship experience. Consequently, our participants work in teams of professionals on awesome projects - all while experiencing life in Canada!
There’s proof to the saying that the early bird catches the worm. We’re now taking applications for 2023 internships across Canada, so why wait?
Get in touch with our team to learn more about our Internship Programs and secure your dream internship for 2023!
YES, your internship is guaranteed or your money back! In our consultation, we take time to learn about your previous experience, current studies, and level of English. If we feel we cannot assist you, you will not be accepted into the program. If for whatever reason we cannot secure your internship, we will refund you the money!
We recommend you start searching for your internship in Canada at least four months in advance. This is because you will need to have an internship in Canada secured in order to apply for your work permit, and you will need time to prepare for your interviews, get selected, and so on.
Your visa will then take up to two months to be processed, so if you want to secure a summer internship, you will need to register in March.
Get the diary out! For 2023 spring internships in Canada, you will need to start planning this November. For 2023 summer internships in Canada, start planning in January.
If you want to get ahead (which we always recommend), get in touch now to talk to our team and start planning your dream 2023 internship in Canada.
You must have at least an intermediate level of English. Your interview will be in English so you must be able to carry a conversation and talk about your experience, education background and show why you are the right person for the host company to get you on board for an internship with them!
Of course you can and we are here to help! After all, that’s the point of the internships, right? Some fields are more competitive than others, but during our consultation meeting with you we will take our time to understand your goals and motivations, your experience and English level (if English is not your first language). We will then send you a consultation report summarizing how we can help you land the perfect internship, including positions, potential start date, specific interests and more.
If you fail your interview we will always get feedback from the host company. We will be able to provide you with this feedback in case there is room for improvement, and will work on it together through our interview preparation process. Remember that we will work with you until you are offered an internship in Canada!
We can guarantee unpaid internships for short periods of time. Our main goal is to make sure that you get the best experience possible, gain academic credits and get experience in a specific field of your studies to improve your resume. If you are seeking a paid position in your field of studies for such a short period of time and with limited experience, you will not get to be a part of some of the projects available for interns.
You can certainly let us know what industries or specific companies you are interested in, but we can not guarantee that that specific company will be looking for international interns. Also, remember that even when internships are unpaid, you still need to pass the interview process.
We have been securing internships in Canada for international students since 2010, so you would be reading a library of books rather than a list! Our host companies numbers are always growing and not all the host companies will hire international students all year round, but if we see that you are interested in a specific area, we will do our best to find the best host company for you! We work in such a personalized approach that we know that one size does not fit all.
An internship abroad is an investment in your professional career in the long run. You will not only show that you have taken the initiative to get an experience out of your comfort zone, but will demonstrate your ability to work with people from different countries and cultures. Having an internship abroad certainly makes a huge difference when you are in the recruitment process, so don’t miss the chance!
No, you can not. Under Canadian immigration rules, student internships, even when unpaid, are considered work and require a work permit. Even if you have an internship offer, you still require an internship visa, so you must be sure the company you want to complete your internship at is eager to do the proper process with the Government of Canada. This will involve paying the corresponding fees and submitting your internship offer to the Government of Canada. As a Recognized Organization of the Government of Canada, our participants are guaranteed to intern for companies that will comply with the regulations to get you on board and welcome you to Canada!
First step, you need to get your internship offer in Canada. No worries, we take care of this part. Next, our team will guide you through every single step for you to secure your internship work permit or visa. From the process that your host company must do to offer you the internship, to the documentation for your internship application, getting your invitation to apply under IEC, biometrics, etc.
No, our consultations are free, as it is very important for us to understand how we can help you before you pay anything! We do not want you to pay unless we are confident that we can help you achieve your career goals!
