International Students (Work Experience in Canada)
Hiring an international student for a work experience brings a range of valuable benefits to employers. These students often possess diverse skills sets, blending unique experiences and perspectives that can foster innovation and create problem-solving within your team. Their multilingual abilities can enhance communication in a globalized business landscape, while their cultural sensitivity enables seamless interactions with a diverse customer base.
International students exhibit adaptability and resilience, qualities developed through relocation for education, which translate effectively into navigating dynamic work environments. By hiring international students for a work experience, you can tap into a diverse talent pool that brings a global perspective, networking opportunities, and dedication, leading to both short-term and long-term growth and innovation for your organization.
Insurance
International students enrolled at NSCC are required to acquire the mandatory International Student Emergency Health Insurance (EHI). This insurance will be automatically included in the student’s enrollment.
Work Permits
International students are required to obtain a Co-op Work Permit from the Government of Canada to participate in any type of work experience. A Co-op Work Permit is different from a Study Permit. Without a Co-op Work Permit the student will not be able to engage in a work experience.
