I am looking to do a short term internship (6 months) in canada . About me , i am a engineering graduate. I wanna know about the visa options for doing an internship? ( applying from India ).
As a Indian i don't have working holiday visa !

It's pretty much impossible to get an internship in Canada without having PR or citizenship. There are no options available without having a job offer. You need a work permit - and to qualify for a work permit you need a full time job offer from an employer and also an approved LMIA. LMIAs are expensive and take a long time to get - you also have to prove no Canadian was available for the position. To be honest, you should forget about doing an internship in Canada.
