2024 CAPI internships

Since 2003, CAPI has sent 195 Canadian students on life-changing placements with 53 different non-governmental organizations across 21 countries throughout the Asia-Pacific (and a couple in Africa, too!).
Please note: All placements are subject to Global Affairs Canada travel advisories, partner country entry and public health requirements, and UVic’s travel policies. Placements will be subject to country-specific rules, which are currently in flux. Please make sure that you have reviewed the country-specific requirements. We appreciate that these applications can be a daunting process in the best of times, so please reach out to CAPI internship program manager Robyn Fila if you have any questions. Flexibility will definitely be an asset.
