The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) recently tweeted out that they're looking for students in a variety of fields to intern for the fall of 2022.

"Applications are required early to provide sufficient time for students to obtain the highest level of security clearance in Canada," reads the CSIS website.

The process involves a security interview, a polygraph and a background investigation that includes credit and financial verifications."

They're hiring students in Ottawa, Burnaby, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Gatineau, Montreal and Halifax — and the pay is pretty darn good.

The final date to send in your application is September 29, so be sure to get on it fast if you're interested.
