Document background
The Internship Offer Letter is a crucial document used when extending a formal internship opportunity to a candidate in Canada. It serves as the primary document establishing the employment relationship and terms between an organization and an intern. This document must comply with Canadian federal labor laws and relevant provincial employment standards, including minimum wage requirements, working hours, and workplace safety regulations. The letter typically includes essential information such as position details, compensation, duration, working conditions, and supervisory relationships. It's particularly important for ensuring compliance with educational program requirements when the internship is part of academic studies, and for establishing clear expectations for both the employer and the intern. The document may need additional considerations for international students, including work permit requirements under Canadian immigration law.
