  Hi all,
This is my first post here in this forum.Iam a international student here in canada and iam in my masters in Engineering.As a requirement for my masters degree, i should carry out a project.One prof in my dept has offered me a summer internship cum project in a company.

i would like to know if i require a Work permit for doing my project in this company. I dont think i would be paid for my work in this company. I may be paid for this later.

Please give me ur comments...

thanks
Arvind

Still, any internship needs work permit, it´s not bad to have one, and then you could get SIN, which has some benefits too. Like EI, CPP benefit, for student of us, we have huge tuition for federal tax deduction. Once you have SIN, you can do income tax. In my province, British Columbia, for those residents who have SIN and annual income level lower than certain amount will have prescription drug free program called? Fair Pharmacy care? I am under cover by my provincial government. I don?t have to pay a penny on any prescription drug.

What you need to do is to ask your department or institution wrote you a letter indicates that pay-internship is mandatory for your graduation purpose. Then please go to apply work permit. If you need renew study permit, do it at the same time, internship work permit is process fee free.

I did this for twice. Extremely easy, each time I usually do this with my study permit together. It took no more than 3 weeks for approve.

Hey Arvind...
Just to say in two lines...
Yes you have to apply for work permit... and
you will be paid for the intership... dont forget to file taxrs at the wnd of the year so that you can claim the intership period as work experience when you aply for immigration to Canada...

Cheers,
HS
