Work permits and immigration
An internship offer does not automatically permit you to work in Canada. Depending on nationality, age, student status and placement conditions, an International Experience Canada (IEC) category, such as International Co-op, may be relevant. Other work permit routes may require employer involvement. NKIC assesses possible pathways individually; eligibility and approval are not guaranteed.
