FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Do I need a work visa to take the internship? Yes.
To take the Work Internship program you must get a Study Visa
in your country - this Study Visa will include a Work Visa for
internship students. As part of the Study Visa application,
ACCESS will send you a letter saying that you are an internship
student. With this letter, the Canadian embassy will give you
a special (C-30) Work Visa. We can also help you apply for this
Work Visa if you are in Canada and have a Study Visa.
How long is the internship? The internship
can be from 4-12 weeks. We reccommend that students have a 6-8
week internship. It is important to note that the internship
period can not be longer than the period of full-time studies.
How much does the internship cost? The Work
Internship has a one-time fee of $650. The fee is the same for

Am I paid for the Work Internship? All Work
Internship students work on a volunteer basis - this means that
they are not paid.
Can I choose my company? Students in the Work
Internship Program choose 3 different types of jobs they would
like to do. ACCESS guarantees you an interview on one of those
3 job ypes. ACCESS - nor any school - can not guarantee you
a placement with a specific company.
Is my English level high enough? For most
jobs, participation in the Work Internship Program depends on
your level of spoken English. ACCESS will prepare you for your
job - however, if you are still not confident enough to do the
internship, ACCESS may assist you in other ways to prepare.
Can I take the Work Internship if I have no job experience?
Yes, but the work you will do will reflect your experience.
Almost everyone has some work experience, in a part-time job,
or as a member of a club in high school. The more experience
you have the more responsibility companies will trust you with.
