Interns are being paid in every fields but medicine and education. Some technical schools (including mine) will refuse internships paid anywhere near minimum salary (they care way to much about the statistics and marketing, which is, in turn, a good deal for students too). I am not claiming it is Klondike for every interns (it's not), but having a ~20$/h-30$/h mostly tax free salary is really helpful to avoid loans with interest. Education is not very expensive in Quebec, fees will be around 6k$ / year (9 15 weeks courses + 1x internship fees, books/material not included) but after adding the cost, of life, the rent, food and everything, it get to around 20k$/y. Given the state provided healthcare and services the first quarter* of the citizen have to pay for, it is even financial beneficial to some people. *(The other three would be elders, children and the ones below poverty threshold)
