Research internship for less than 120 days

[Anushruti]

hi I am a phd student (research scholar) in IIT Delh, India.
I am joining polytechnique univeristy as research intern from June 2018.
Research interns are considered as worker in canada.
The duration of my stay is less than 120 days.
Do i need work permit?
or will i be exempted under the policy of short term 120 days work permit exemption for researchers?
Will visitor visa v-1 with multiple entry will be sufficient to come to canada

Please let me know.
Its urgent.

You do not need a work permit if you meet the following conditions:

To work in Canada as a researcher for a short term
You do not need a work permit if you will come to Canada as a researcher

• at a public degree-granting institution or affiliated research institution
• who will work for 120 or fewer consecutive days
• who has not worked in Canada under this exemption in the last 12 months

Hello,







My name is Nicolás Cabrera. I´m a colombian student of Los Andes University.


Recently the Cirrelt research center in Montreal offered me the opportunity to work as a research assistant from August 5 to December 5. They told me that I only need a visitor visa because i would only work for a period inferior to 120 days.

I need to know if a visitor visa that I already have is enough to travel to Canada and to work for the research center. The visitor visa that I have was solicitated for a tourist trip two years ago.

I already check all the links that are available online and I'm not certain if I have to apply for a new visitor visa or if the one I have is enough.



Can you help to clarify these doubts?

Do you need any documents to help me check this?

Best regards,



Nicolás

If your current visa is valid, you don't need a new one.

Thank you for your response.

Under this condition which documents should i bring to Canada? I don't want to face any problems at the airport.

It is enough if i bring the invitation letter from the research center? Or would you advice another relevant documents?

Best regards,

Nicolás
