Maple Match Canada

Maple Match Canada is a placement company that sends students to internships in Canada, combining tailored visa assistance with privileged access to local employers. Its offer is presented as a distinctive internship experience in Canada in which students receive dedicated support for their visa and an opening into an international career. Prospective participants start by testing their visa eligibility online, then book an appointment with one of the company's advisers. The site describes the business as an agence de placement au Canada, and candidates who join are supported by an agent throughout, from the first individual information session through to the point where a contract is signed.

The programme follows a set sequence. After the eligibility check and the adviser interview, a candidate pays a deposit to reserve a place, takes part in coaching sessions and completes a one-way interview for the roles that interest them. In that format the student records answers to pre-set questions, which allows preparation in advance and reduces the stress of a live interview. Partner companies then assess the profiles, those who have caught the interest of the network meet the employer by video call to discuss the placement, and an offer and contract follow. Maple Match Canada also researches local and international scholarships and provides tailored visa support, and it guarantees a placement in the candidate's chosen field or a full refund.

The internships are based in Canada and are generally full time, at 35 to 40 hours a week and usually from 9am to 5pm, though the hours vary with the host company. Pay varies with the field, the company and the role, and can include a salary, performance-based commission or other benefits such as transport passes, meals, and participation in professional trips and events. The company works with a large number of employers and says its list of partner businesses changes regularly, so it cannot guarantee a specific company. Coaching sessions are optional but strongly recommended, and it says students who take them find a placement in about half the time. Some former interns have received permanent job offers after their placement.
