Description: * Unpaid Professional Internship
We can arrange professional internship in areas other than Medical service and Hospital. As stated minimum internship commitment is for 12 weeks and number of reports will be provided for follow up during your placement. Candidates will need to understand that companies accepting interns put in time and company resources to get you going in the beginning and throughout your internship.

Although internship is unpaid and feel like company is getting every benefits and you are not it isn't entirely true. Biggest cost of any company in North America or your home country is staff hiring and training. It is an investment that both intern and the company is making to exchanges certain values being offered and this is why Canada Immigration consider even unpaid professional internship as "work" and "employment" in Canada.

After 12 weeks of internship which started off as unpaid, it is possible based on your performance that company may change terms and conditions of your internship to hourly or weekly stipend. This is never promised in the beginning and asking for assurance will only make the company feel pressured and uncomfortable.

University students and recent graduates are suitable for unpaid professional internship. Also ask us about part time work off campus.

* Professional Internship Stipend based
Even though current economy in Canada and around the world is very tight, companies are still hiring but competition is strong and openings are not available as much as last year. There are a lot more qualified candidates available in Canada expecting less pay than last year (Updated 2009). WISH is making careful screening and candidate selection for Professional internship stipend based and it will be limited numbers which we offer.

Opporuntunity for this type of internship will be given to candidates with high advance or fluent level of English, 2nd language that may be valuable in Canadian business trend, strong basic office administration skills and had a lot of international business exposures from other countries including candidates home country.

Candidates can expect USD250 to USD350 a week although some cases we have seen as high as USD15 to USD17 hour.

We do not recommend that you expect and make financial plan according to the high end of rare end of remuneration as economy is not likely to support your plan if you set it based on the high end.

Highlights: Internship in Canada is always delivered and combined with Academic programs offered through public or private language, career related programs. Canada Immigration considers internship as "working in Canada" and you will need work permit which allows you to do internship or work experience programs. Unless you are citizen of short listed countries with internship or practicum visa arrangements with Canadian government, you will need to take language study, Business English or career related courses before you begin internship.

For Toronto based professional internship program, we have chosen one of private Canadian Business Colleges called UCCBT and UCCBT and WISH is offering UIM (Understanding International Marketplace) Certificate program to selected agents and candidates who will meet requirements and qualifications to enter the program, complete internship and have the best possible in class and onsite work experience in Canada.
