Experience with Canadian Interns in the US

Based on previous WSO threads, here are some insights regarding Canadian interns in the USA:

1. Comparison with US Interns:

   • Canadian interns often face additional challenges, such as visa requirements (e.g., TN visas), which can impact their recruitment process.
   • Despite these challenges, Canadian interns from top schools are generally well-prepared and competitive.

2. Top Canadian Schools for Interns:

   • Ivey Business School (Western University): Frequently mentioned as the best Canadian undergraduate school for US recruitment. It has a strong track record of placing students in top finance roles in the US.
   • Queen's University (Smith School of Business): Known for its high placement rates in investment banking and other high finance roles. It is considered a top choice for students aiming for roles in the US.
   • University of Toronto (Rotman School of Management): Also recognized for producing strong candidates, though it may not have as high a placement rate in the US as Ivey or Queen's.

3. General Observations:

   • Canadian schools, in general, do not have the same level of established relationships with US firms as their US counterparts. This can make the recruitment process more challenging for Canadian students.
   • However, students from top Canadian schools who do secure internships in the US are often highly regarded for their work ethic and preparedness.
