Financial Assistance to Employers

There have never been so many resources and incentives at the same time to facilitate the hiring, hosting and integration of co-op interns in organizations in Quebec and Canada.

In addition to the refundable tax credit from the Government of Quebec, your organization could benefit from financial assistance of up to $7,000 or more per intern if this person is part of an under-represented group.

Please feel free to contact the various programs directly for more information. 

Since the grants are managed by third-party organizations, the University cannot be held responsible for the granting or not of a grant. Our role is limited to informing you of the possibilities.

The on-the-job tax credit can be combined with a federal wage subsidy for the portion of the wage subsidy that is not covered.

Requirement

  • The hiring organization must be subject to the Quebec Taxation Act

Amount

The financial assistance is offered in the form of a refundable tax credit:

  • Up to $260 per week for private-sector organizations
  • Up to $125 per week for individuals

Note: Additional funding may apply when hiring immigrant students or students with disabilities.
