PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Advantages of the EIC program
Living independently in a foreign country while undertaking an internship is a crucial step for personal and professional development.An internship in a foreign country will provide your child with a unique opportunity to operate as a professional in a multicultural environment. This experience allows your child to familiarize with a different culture, explore new ways of working, and develop critical thinking abilities. These assets solidify the very foundation of a professional career and become an undisputed differentiation factor when compared to peers that did not benefit from such an enriching experience.
This is also an opportunity to develop autonomy while benefiting from all the support included as part of the EIC program. The experience gained in Canada will enable your child to self-actualize and to create lifelong memories. Not to mention the value that such an experience abroad will add to your child’s CV, as it showcases a more comprehensive and international profile.
There are many available funding programs for students. EIC has access to several financial partners that can be recommended to you. We do also suggest getting in touch with your bank.
There are several types of financing available for interns applying for an internship in Canada. Depending on the nature of the loan, you may receive financing to cover your living expenses and/or travel fares.
Our team will help guide you through the types of financial aid available to you and is committed to providing you with any information necessary to complete an application.
There is no law that prescribes minimum salary for internships in Canada: compensation may vary depending on the industry, employer, and type of occupation. Compensation can include fixed salary, sales commissions, performance bonuses, or a mix thereof. Companies may also offer perquisites, which can include paid transport, subsidized meals, work-related travel, training, seminars, etc. Candidates should bear in mind that monetary compensation for an intern is inevitably tied to the industry/ market (e.g., an internship in a NPO is less likely to provide remuneration than a mandate in accounting or finance).
