I am currently registered as a student at an eligible Canadian Post-Secondary Education (PSE) institution or approved eligible institution and will continue to maintain this status through my participation in Level UP projects.

I am currently enrolled in at least one course this semester or will be in the next semester.

I hold Canadian citizenship, permanent residency, or refugee protection, and am legally authorised to work in Canada.

I am not an International student.

I will not create multiple active accounts, as this will result in program removal and loss of payment.

I will stay active in the program and understand that inactivity may lead to my removal.

I will only complete 1 project per Level UP cohort.

Submitting an application does not guarantee placement in a project. Selection is based on project availability, funding and suitability as determined by the employer.

I am not an employee of Riipen Networks Inc. or the company facilitating my project.

I am not a current or former employee of the project company.

I have no conflict of interest with the project partner company (e.g., no relatives as major shareholders or board members).

I am not eligible for Employment Insurance at the end of the project or in the event of cancellation.

I am responsible for reporting any income earned under this program according to Canadian tax laws.

Complete 60 hours of work within the allocated timeframe and track my hours using Riipen’s work log feature.

Submit all required deliverables through the Riipen platform, including the final project submission, work hours, and a brief reflection on my experience.

Payment for this cohort will be issued per the cohort breakdown.

Only projects approved by Riipen and managed through the Riipen platform are eligible for payment.

Once matched to a team, this is final. No changes or accommodations will be made.

Ensure I am officially registered and matched to the project on the Riipen platform and press “start project” on or before the start date.

Provide any additional requested information within 30 days, or my project will be deemed incomplete and ineligible for payment.

I acknowledge that any misrepresentation of my identity or eligibility will result in immediate suspension from the platform and forfeiture of compensation for completed or in-progress projects.

If I receive a stipend payment I’m not entitled to, I understand I must reimburse the platform in full. This includes any overpayments or errors in calculation.

I further recognize that violation of these terms may result in legal action by Riipen.

Conduct myself with respect and professionalism at all times.

Refrain from harassment, discrimination, hate speech, threats, or abusive behaviour.

Understand that violations may lead to immediate removal, suspension, or termination without notice.
