Mitacs Globalink Research Internship

Mitacs Globalink Research Internship brings exceptional international undergraduates from 18 partner countries to Canadian university campuses for 12-week summer research placements. The program sits under Mitacs, Canada’s national research and innovation organization, and the placements are supervised by faculty at the host institution. Mitacs covers round-trip airfare, housing, food and incidentals, student enrollment fees, and emergency health insurance, so the support is delivered as a full in-kind package rather than a cash award. Eligibility is limited to full-time undergraduates or combined undergraduate-master’s students who have completed at least two years of study, meet the language and grade requirements, and have not previously received a Globalink award. The 2026 summer intake has closed, and the next cycle is expected for summer 2027. The program fits students who want a tightly structured first research placement in Canada and can commit to a fixed summer window on campus. Its value is practical as much as academic: the host lab gets a prepared undergraduate researcher, while the student gets a funded immersion in Canadian research under a faculty supervisor. That combination makes the route especially strong for applicants with a clear academic record and a good match to a specific university group.
