How do sponsors like CICD evaluate and approve program participants?

May 28 2014

CICD works with its international network of partner organizations to screen and accept applications and to conduct in-person interviews with our students. These procedures help us determine your qualifications, background, needs and experience for job placement, and confirm that you meet the eligibility criteria below:

  • Student Status
    Eligible program participants must be bona fide post-secondary school students actively pursuing a degree or a full-time course of study at an accredited educational institution (such as a university). Students must be enrolled in an accredited educational institution and registered for a full-time course load during the semester immediately preceding the summer in which they want to do the Work/Travel program.
  • English-Language Proficiency
    Prospective exchange visitors must possess sufficient proficiency in the English language to participate in the Summer Work and Travel program.
