Visa:
The Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship has established a public policy that justifies granting a work permit exemption to certain highly skilled foreign nationals coming to Canada for 120 consecutive days or less to perform work in a Canadian university. If your students can come for 4 months or less, they could benefit from this policy and they would only require getting a visa or an electronic travel authorizationdepending on their citizenship. For internship longer than 120 days, we will follow the usual invitation procedure for a work permit.
Deadline:
Students must send electronically the required documents to the International Exchange and Cooperation office of Tongji University: lizejun@tongji.edu.cnby July 27, 2020.
