Estágios para imigrantes em Ontário

Amig@s,

Veja abaixo um programa da Província de Ontario para oferecer estágios no serviço público provincial e em diversas empresas cadastradas no programa para imigrantes recém-chegados e qualificados profissionalmente em suas áreas de competéncia.

Vale a pena dar uma conferida. Busquei algo na minha área em Ottawa e não consegui encontrar nada. Parece que funciona mais para quem está em Toronto, ou em Hamilton.

Ontario Public Service (OPS) Internship Program for Internationally Trained Professionals


To encourage Ontario businesses to tap into the talents of newcomers, the Ontario government is leading by example. The province is participating in an internship program that provides internationally trained professionals with an opportunity to combine their knowledge acquired in jurisdictions around the world with Canadian experience.

Starting in the fall of 2006, newcomers with a minimum of three years of international work experience became eligible for a placement of up to six months within the Ontario Public Service. To establish this first-ever provincial internship program for the internationally trained, the Ontario government works with Career Bridge to place up to 70 interns in a wide variety of fields including finance, chemistry, business administration, communications and environmental sciences. All candidates will be selected from a database and will be screened for employment status, language ability and educational credentials.

The Career Bridge Program

Career Bridge is a program run by the Career Edge Organization, a not-for-profit organization that operates in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and Hamilton. The organization works to eliminate employment barriers for qualified, experienced newcomers.

How to apply

Internationally trained professionals interested in becoming an intern in the OPS Internship Program must apply directly to Career Bridge to become a Career Bridge candidate. Once in the Career Bridge candidate database, individuals will be able to apply for available internships within the Ontario Public Service.

Career Bridge
Internships for Internationally Qualified Professionals



Career Bridge is an innovative internship program designed to address the dilemma of “no Canadian experience, no job; no job, no Canadian experience” that prevents many skilled immigrants from contributing to Canada’s economy.

Internships arranged through the Career Bridge program break this unproductive cycle and provide a crucial bridge between the international and Canadian workplace. Career Bridge eliminates significant employment barriers often faced by qualified, experienced professionals who are eager and ready to resume their careers in Canada.
Career Bridge internships are paid positions that last for 4, 6, 9 or 12 months for job-ready immigrants that are legally able to work in Canada.
The internship program is a response to a concern that Canadian businesses often overlook or underutilize the talents of highly-qualified professionals who are recent arrivals from abroad.
--> Career Bridge is operated by Career Edge Organization, a not-for-profit social enterprise that has managed over 8,000 paid internships across Canada since 1996.
