Will companies in Canada consider someone for an internship after they graduated with a Master's degree?
I am completing my (2-year) Master's degree in Canada and would like to do an internship in Canada after my Master's degree to see if I would like to continue into industry or instead go back to doing a PhD.
I initially planned to do an internship in Canada between my first and second year of studies but my study permit disallowed full-time work. Now, when I view internship postings online, I see that most of them specify the condition that I must be a "student currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree program" or the like. Note that I am looking specifically for research-based or graduate-level internships (not PEY, not co-op).
Given that this clause is present on all Canadian internship postings that were pertinent to me, will companies accept an application from someone who would have graduated by the time they start the internship? Are there any Canada-specific reasons why companies insist on this "currently enrolled" requirement?
