Do I need to apply for a temporary work permit if my internship/on-the-job training in Canada is of short duration and/or unpaid?
Yes. In Canada, internship/on-the-job training placements are all considered as employment, even if they are for a short period of time or unpaid. In order to obtain a temporary work permit authorizing you to undergo your internship/on-the-job training in Canada, you must submit an application to the Internship/On-the-Job Training category.
