Internships and professional programs in the United States, for students as well as non-students, have always been a popular way for Canadians to experience training in what many consider to be the world's powerhouse companies. For some, the programs ranging from 1 to 18 months in duration, are often the starting points for venturing into future career paths; for others, internships help bolster current career goals.
SWAP has been sending Canadians to the United States since 1991. With over a decade of experience, SWAP has maintained an excellent reputation among Canadian and American schools and companies alike. With growing concern for security in the United States, it is often difficult and costly for individuals to find a way of obtaining a visa for the States. SWAP has a partnership with an American sponsor and a straightforward application process to assist participants in receiving a J-1 trainee visa.
SWAP provides the opportunity for career-minded people to work as an intern/trainee for a period up to 18 months. We help you obtain the legal documentation to complete your internship/training placement.
