For Non-Canadian Applicants

Many non-Canadian interns must obtain a travel visa in order to enter Canada and participate in our internship program. While residents from some countries are visa-exempt, and can simply arrive at the border and enter without a problem, residents from other countries may have a difficult time getting a travel visa.
If you are unsure about requirements regarding whether or not you may need a travel visa, please see the Canadian government website here. We do not support work or student visa applications.
