F.A.Q

The placement warranty is simple: if the proposed internships are not satisfactory, we will reimburse you in full.

Our internship program in Canada is a professional investment that will give you a definite edge on the job market. International work experience will undoubtedly help you land your dream job in the future. You’ll have demonstrated your ability to thrive in a new working environment, alongside people from all professional and cultural backgrounds. Several former EIC students have received full-time job offers from their employers after the internship period. Of course, there is no guarantee that all candidates will receive a job offer after their EIC internship.

EIC accepts candidates into the program on a continuous basis. However, we recommend that candidates apply as early as possible, given the due process for admissibility and the unpredictability of the visa application process. Applicants cannot begin the internship without a visa; we recommend that students apply to the EIC program at least 1 month before the start of the desired internship period to avoid any delay.

• Work experience

Our international programs are highly competitive, with limited spaces in each of the industries and destinations. As such, applicants are required to confirm their candidacy and pay the deposit within the prescribed deadlines:

For internships beginning within less than 120 days of the admissibility confirmation
→ Confirmation is required within 5 business days following the admissibility confirmation

For internships beginning in over 120 days of the admissibility confirmation
→ Confirmation is required within 10 business days following the admissibility confirmation

Note that once the confirmation delay has elapsed, any candidates that wish to re-engage in the program must complete and submit a new application.

EIC works with numerous employers across Canada, all of whom have changing internship availability depending on their needs and the seasonal needs of the business. Furthermore, EIC is also consistently creating new partnerships and as such, there is no static list of all employment opportunities available. Because of the variable nature of the business, there is no warranty that a candidate could select a specific company for an internship.

Our placement team will engage with you in a placement process and confirm your internship contract, if applicable, approximately 6 to 8 weeks before the start date.

Successful candidates are guaranteed a professional internship in their chosen field. We have extensive experience of internship placements and are proud of the successful matches between our participants and our host companies. All the organizations we work with are thoroughly vetted to ensure they offer a rewarding internship experience for our participants.

Our confidence in our program is demonstrated by our full money-back guarantee if you are not placed in the desired field. We’ll give you a full refund, giving you the peace of mind of knowing you’ll have a meaningful internship experience in Canada.

Due to the high number of applications, our dedicated program specialists are currently working only with candidates that have officially confirmed their participation in the program.

As soon as you have confirmed your spot and paid the required deposit, you will be contacted by the placement team to build your professional profile. Your profile will be based on your prior work experience (if any), your educational path, and your general career objectives. This joint effort between candidates and EIC ensures that all participants in the program are presented with the internship opportunities that will best match their needs, goals, and interests.

Once the above is finalized, the placement team will begin searching for the employer & internship that best fits your profile. EIC staff will coach you to prepare you for the interviews that will help you lock-in the internship of your choice!

Most of the program participants are successful during the interview process, as our dedicated staff carefully pairs candidates and employers for the best possible match.

EIC’s team of experts evaluates each application to ensure that the best candidates are admitted into the program. That is why each applicant goes through a personalized interview process.

We are mindful that some opportunities can be time sensitive. That is why we will communicate the admissibility decision as soon as possible. Candidates should expect to receive the decision within 3-5 business days following the EIC Initial admissibility interview.

We recommend that you book your flights as soon as your role as an intern is confirmed and you have obtained your visa. This should be done around 4 to 6 weeks before arrival.

We can only guarantee accommodation for the duration of your internship program.

There are no fees to submit an application. The fees for the remote internship start at €2,850.

We’ll send you a list of the many financial aids you can apply for.

At EIC, we understand that your plans can change. That is why we offer a lifetime credit for all EIC program fees paid in advance. If you must postpone your internship or change the destination city, you will obtain a full credit that can be applied against future fees. Bear in mind that program fees can change over time, and candidates are subject to prevailing fees at the time of re-application. Note that the credit is transferable to direct family members only.

Airfare, medical insurance, visa (student portion) and living expenses are not included in the program.

There are no application fees for the EIC program. Once an applicant is accepted, an initial €450 deposit is required within 14 days of the date of acceptance to secure an internship. The EIC internship program fees (less initial deposit) are due in two equal instalments: the first payment is required within 30 days of the date of acceptance; the remaining balance is due within 21 days following the signing of the internship (employment) contract.

All the events and activities we organize are optional. However, they are designed to help you make the most of your experience, both personally and professionally, so we recommend that you attend!

Remuneration for internships in Canada is not regulated and varies according to sector, company and position. Remuneration can take the form of a salary, performance-related commissions or company benefits (transportation passes, meals, participation in trips, seminars, company events, etc.). You should bear in mind, however, that an internship in finance or accounting is much more likely to result in financial compensation than an internship with an association or NGO, for example.

Before departing from your home country, you will receive a welcome pack which will give you all the information you need to prepare for your arrival. On arrival, you’ll be picked up by our trusted driver, taken to your accommodation, met by your experienced coordinator and given a tour of the facilities. If you arrive at your destination after 6 p.m. local time, you will meet your coordinator the following morning.

It all depends on your course of study. If your internship is compulsory for the validation of your studies, you will obtain university credits if you meet the criteria required by your university or school (e.g.: validated internship report).

International internships are generally full-time, work-intensive jobs that require 35-to-40-hour work weeks. Depending on your location, your employer will determine a work schedule that best fits your situation.

Please contact the Admissions Manager to discuss this option.

Interns on our program have their own private rooms and share common areas with other interns or international students, depending on the destination.
