Financial Arrangement:

*Outstanding candidates may receive one of the 30 scholarships available! Amount of the scholarship: $1000 CAD per month for a maximum of 4 months.

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 authorization depending 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.cn  by July 27, 2020.

For any question, please can contact Ms. LI Zejun (lizejun@tongji.edu.cn)

*派出项目仍有可能受疫情影响而被取消，请申请者知晓。
