I’d assume the minimum age is 18 since this is an internship for an actual job, correct?

In the past, they have specified other internships to be minimum 18, so I would expect the same for this.

I am wondering, do you consider Canadians more problematic than US Applicants? I am not legally allowed to work in the US unless I have a work visa. While you guys did specify such conditions I am wondering if it’ll be more of an issue to deal with.

Yes, it’s a lot of work for an employer to sponsor a work visa, that’s why you need to specify it on the form.

You were right haha

I did multiple internships at Roblox as a Canadian! If you’re attending a recognized university then you’re likely eligible for a visa.

Ah, that’s going to be a Problem. I was more looking for something I could use to get into a specific school I was aiming for. This school(VFS) requires some level of basic experience before I can apply. Perhaps I got this whole thing wrong, I am not currently attending a University. Would you mind help clearing up some basic questions I may have to ask via messages?
