In BRITISH COLUMBIA

Unpaid internships are illegal unless the internship falls under one the two narrow exceptions listed in BC’s Employment Standards Act:

1: Internships that provide “hands-on” training as part of a formal educational program (called a “practicum” in the Act);

2: Internships that provide training for certain professions (e.g. architecture, law, chiropractory, engineering, real estate);

If the internship does not fall within any of these exceptions, the intern must be paid at least the BC minimum wage ($10.25 per hour for most employees). For further clarity, the BC Ministry of Labour has defined “internship” and requires employers to pay minimum wage in this circumstance.
