July to September 2020: International students submit applications and select research projects from the online database. Mitacs conducts an eligibility review of student applications

January to April 2021: Successful students start working with their Canadian host professors to arrange pre-internship details (e.g., reading to be completed beforehand) while Mitacs oversees logistics and coordinates with university administrative offices.

May to October 2021: Globalink Research Interns arrive in Canada and work with supervising professors for 12 weeks on their research project.


Matching process and evaluation criteria
 

Professor project proposals are submitted to Mitacs, reviewed, and upon acceptance, entered into an online database.

Applications from students are submitted to Mitacs. Students must select a minimum of three and a maximum of seven research projects from the online database.

The Mitacs Research team scores each application based on criteria including, but not limited to, CGPA, university, and research experience, and ranks students based on their score.

A list of possible matches is generated by combining the list of projects submitted with the list of eligible students.

Faculty and eligible students are invited to contact one another to conduct interviews and review one another for a possible match.

Mitacs collects the feedback and each match is weighted based on both the student’s and professor’s rankings.

Logistics and student funding
 

Mitacs, in coordination with our partners, oversees, and provides funding for the following:

Flight and student visa reimbursement
Accommodation and daily stipend
Medical insurance for the duration of the internship
Coordination with host institutions’ administrative offices to ensure a smooth arrival and registration process
Selection of a Globalink Mentor to assist with tasks including picking up students from the airport, escorting them to their residences, organizing social events, and acting as an emergency contact

Globalink Research Interns are expected to work 40 hours per week on their research project.  During the internship, Globalink Research Interns may be invited to attend industry and/or government relations events, professional skills training courses, or conferences.  Every attempt will be made to schedule these events outside of working hours, and interns should obtain their supervisor’s approval should they have to miss work to participate.

All parties involved with the Mitacs Globalink program must comply with the Canadian host university’s policies regarding the ethical conduct of research and scholarly activities.  Any issues or disputes around research or academic misconduct will be subject to the host university’s processes following their institutional policies.
