BENEFITS OF EIC

Why choose EIC?

An internship in Canada will allow you to put into practice all the skills you have acquired during your academic career. While school-based training is essential, an experience abroad is equally important as it will allow you to stand out from your peers in the eyes of your future employers. Your internship will give you practical experience and the opportunity to develop in a new working environment.

A work experience in Canada is an ideal way to add value to your CV. You will have the opportunity to integrate into a company in the field of your choice and to carry out several mandates in a working environment that is conducive to learning. The EIC program is designed to offer you several levels of assignments within the company of your choice, allowing you to develop as you gain experience.

When you join a company, you will interact with employees, management and clients, and understand the company’s core values and work ethic. Your internship will allow you to showcase your skills and put you in an excellent position to find a job with the same or a similar company after your internship. Companies are far more inclined to retain existing employees who have already embraced the company’s values than to start the recruitment process all over again.

Practice makes perfect! As an experienced candidate, you are more likely to be selected from a pool of applicants for a future job. In fact, the vast majority of employers prefer candidates with relevant work experience, even for entry-level positions. You have already flattened the learning curve and will need less ramp-up when you enter the job market. In addition, the experience gained during an internship on an international level will give you an edge over the competition.

Always remember that personal relationships are extremely important! Deals and contracts are made between people, not between companies. Our program will enable you to share, work and meet new people by creating connections at three different levels:

  1. Your company’s trainees, employees and managers
  2. Other EIC program participants
  3. International students at your student housing

One of the benefits of this program is that, even if you’re on the other side of the world from your family and friends, you’ll never feel alone! Between your friends at the residence, those in the program and your office colleagues, you’ll never have time to get bored. Make the most of these moments and build relationships that will last a lifetime.

Well-established company or a fast-growing start-up, what do you prefer? EIC gives you the opportunity to choose the professional environment in which you’d like to do your internship.

Our program and internship assignments have been validated with each company to ensure that they meet your expectations and those of the company, which will then be able to welcome you in optimal conditions. The aim of our program is to turn you into a professional capable of evolving with ease in a multicultural and international world.

An internship is a great way to find out if a particular field, sector, company, mission, country or city is right for you!

From the admission interview to the work experience, the personality test, the debriefing with your coach and all the relationships you’ll build outside the internship, our program is the perfect way to develop your full potential.

You can trust our experts to guide you through the discovery of this beautiful country and its culture. You can count on us to support you on a personal and professional level throughout the entire process. Your internship will have paved the way for many opportunities across Canada. Whether you decide to continue working for your employer, move to another company, or enroll in a Canadian university, your internship will open up a world of possibilities.

Canada is one of the safest countries in the world, with a very low crime rate. An internship in this country will provide you with an enriching professional experience in complete safety.

Visa assistance

Starting a new job in a foreign country can be challenging from a legal and administrative perspective: without assistance, obtaining a visa can be long and arduous. That is why EIC has a team dedicated to guiding you through the process and making it as easy as possible.

Applying for a visa can be a complex and stressful process, with numerous steps to follow and documents to provide. A simple mistake can lead to delays or even refusal. With EIC, you can go through this process with peace of mind: our team will guide you through every step of the process and help you get your visa as quickly as possible.
