Your Intern Canada Placement

Your placement will be in or around Vancouver, British Columbia (BC).

Will my internship be paid?

In Canada, paid positions are considered ‘jobs’ and unpaid positions are considered 'internships'. If you are looking for a paid job in Canada, take a look at our Work Canada programme. When an employer pays a salary (or any kind of remuneration), the focus is not on the opportunity but on what the employee can do for the employer. When internships are unpaid, they are focused on the training and learning, and allows you to get the experience you need for a future career.
