How to find an internship?

[elin5211]

Hello.
I'm finishing my masters degree in Scotland this summer and i really want to work in Canada for about a year. Now i have visitor visa which is valid until 2017. Is there any way to find paid internship in Canada, like any agency?

You will still need to get some kind of work permit for this.Are you looking for internships at companies or university internship? Certain universities offer help to obtain study/exchange work permits. But for this you still need to be accepted by a university lab for which you have to contact the supervisor directly.

It's extremely difficult to secure internships (paid or not) since you have to go through the work permit and LMIA process.

Look into the IEC (Working Holiday Visa) program instead.
