Our Hospitality Internship program offers a customized internship experience designed to help you achieve your professional goals while in Canada. We do not place our participants in predefined roles. Instead, we work with each individual to find the best opportunity given your preferences and level of experience.
You can start a Hospitality Internship in Canada year-round!
We recommend you start planning at least three months in advance as you will need to apply for your International Co-Op or Young Professional visa (unless you have already secured your Working Holiday visa!). Check if you’re eligible to apply.
Next, book a free consultation with our team to chat about your hospitality internship goals, and we’ll take it from there!
Not for this specific program as positions are only paid. If you are registered as a student back home you will be able to apply for an internship visa. If you have already graduated you will be able to apply for a Young Professional work permit.
You must be able to carry out an interview in English, and your level of fluency will depend on the role and department you are applying for. For example, if you are applying for guest services you must be fluent in English as you will need to communicate with guests. If you are interested in working in a position as cook or chef, your English does not have to be perfect, as they will be checking your gastronomy and culinary skills! This is one of the requirements we check during our free consultation.
Resort towns are the most popular locations to do a hospitality internship in Canada. Think: Whistler, Banff, the Okanagan Valley and Lake Louise, among many others! You will be working at Canada’s top tourist destinations so you will get the best experience from your internship.
Yes, all of our hospitality internship offers will come with guaranteed accommodation at a discounted rate for staff members. Once you are accepted by the hotel, you will have your housing already sorted out!
You can select the areas and if you have interest in a specific hotel or resort, we can of course review the possibilities, but remember that you must be selected after successfully passing your interview. The employer must be eager to do the visa process with you, which is why we will organize interviews with employers that we know are eager to do the visa process with you.
Culinary & gastronomy, guest services and front office, food and beverage, among others!
YES, all our hospitality internships are full-time and paid! The beauty of the hospitality and gastronomy industry is that education and training always comes with experience, so even if you are still a student back home, hotels and resorts in Canada will pay you a salary like a regular employee.
