Work Experience In Canada

All IH schools in Canada offer an extensive choice of work related programs. These programs are designed to take your language skills beyond the classroom. By tailoring these programs to suit a variety of needs, we can help place you in a professional setting where you will gain an incredible career enhancing experience, or help place you in a paying job related to your English studies at International House. All of our work related programs require a study period at the schools. A minimum level of English is required for all work placements and the duration of your studies will depend on the type of job and the duration of your stay.

Generally, the higher your command of the English language, the better your position will be within the companies that will hire you. You will also be more likely to move up to better positions and, of course, get better pay. Regardless of which program you are interested in, you will always be required to enrol and study at International House for a minimum of 4 weeks and up to 24 weeks if necessary as part of your work program. This will ensure that you are ready and confident to work in your new job. For many of the programs, a study portion equal to the work portion is required by Citizenship and Immigration Canada for issuance of your work permit.
