Experience across the border
Work with a US employer, earn for your contribution and build experience in your field. For Canadian citizens and permanent residents, it is a chance to work in another market without putting your professional development on hold.
Keep a clear record of the work you do
For a US finance placement, start with the responsibilities you want to develop: reporting, budgeting, accounting support or research. Applicants planning Canadian immigration should review the proposed duties, dates and paid hours with their adviser, and keep employer documents and payment records during the placement.
The work you could do
We match your background to the employer and role. Typical areas of work include:
- Support financial reporting and accounting processes
- Contribute to budgeting and treasury analysis
- Prepare supervised corporate-finance research
- Explore risk or investment research where suitable
Prepare for your employer interviews
Accounting, finance, economics, business and relevant quantitative study or professional experience.
Prepare examples of analysis, reporting, accounting study or research. Explain your assumptions and what the numbers mean, not just the software you used. Relevant professional experience should be described through responsibilities and processes, without sharing confidential client or employer information.
Your paid placement, arranged before departure
Aureus prepares you for employer interviews, secures your paid placement and coordinates the J-1 process. Your proposal sets out the programme fee and guarantee before you enrol; your employer offer confirms the role, hours, location and pay. Budget separately for travel and living costs where these are not included.
Questions for your next step
Is the job title enough to assess foreign work experience?+
No. The actual duties and other requirements matter. Have the proposed work assessed against the Canadian rule you intend to use before enrolling.
