Are you highly motivated and looking to build deep technical expertise through hands-on, real-world data engineering and analytics work? Our Business Intelligence team is seeking a highly technical intern to support a critical modernization initiative focused on migrating legacy SSRS reports to a cloud-based data lake and modern semantic models.
This internship is designed for students who want to strengthen skills in data modeling, SQL development, report migration, and analytics architecture, rather than end-user reporting or business-facing analysis. The intern will work closely with experienced BI engineers on well-defined migration and design tasks that are critical to the scalability and future-state analytics platform.
If you are excited about learning modern BI architecture and contributing to foundational technical initiatives, we encourage you to apply.
A DAY IN THE LIFE
In this role, you will…
- Support the migration of legacy SSRS reports to a data lake-centric analytics architecture
- Analyze existing SSRS report logic, stored procedures, datasets, and dependencies
- Re-create report logic using SQL, data lake structures, and modern semantic models
- Design and implement semantic layers (Power BI datasets, tabular models, or equivalent) optimized for reuse and performance
- Assist with data model normalization, star schema design, and metric standardization
- Validate migrated reports and datasets for data accuracy, performance, and completeness
- Document source-to-target mappings, transformation logic, and modeling standards
- Collaborate primarily with BI engineers and architects; limited to no direct business user interaction
- Gain hands-on experience with enterprise BI modernization initiatives
- Apply academic knowledge to large-scale, real-world data systems
WHO YOU ARE
You possess …
- Undergraduate Junior, Senior, or Graduate status in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Analytics, or related field
- Strong interest in data engineering, analytics platforms, and BI architecture
- Solid understanding of SQL, including joins, aggregations, and query optimization
- Familiarity with relational data models and dimensional modeling concepts
- Exposure to or interest in data lakes, analytics platforms, or cloud data services
- Experience with Power BI, SSRS, or other reporting tools (academic or internship experience acceptable)
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- A desire to work on focused, independent technical projects
- Attention to detail and commitment to data quality and design best practices
Responsibilities
- Inventory and analyze existing SSRS reports, data sources, and queries
- Translate report logic and calculations into data lake–based SQL models
- Design and build semantic datasets to support modern reporting and analytics
- Refactor complex SQL and reporting logic for performance and scalability
- Support testing and validation of migrated datasets and reports
- Create clear technical documentation for data models and migration decisions
- Participate in a structured intern capstone project focused on BI modernization
- Attend regular team check-ins to track progress and remove technical blockers
Qualifications
- Undergraduate Junior, Senior, or Graduate Student; IT, Computer Science, Data, or Engineering majors preferred
- Strong SQL and analytical skills
- Basic understanding of data modeling and reporting concepts
- Comfortable working independently with clearly defined technical tasks
- Working knowledge of Microsoft Office Suite
- Ability to document technical work clearly
- Ability to manage time effectively and meet deadlines
- Ability to work in a fast-paced technical environment

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a Business Intelligence Intern
Align your degree to the SOC code
TN approval for BI intern roles depends on matching your computer science, information systems, or statistics degree to the job duties listed in the offer letter. A mismatch between your credential and the role's technical scope is the most common denial trigger.
Target employers experienced with visa sponsorship
Search for employers with recent visa filings in Computer Systems Analyst roles. These companies have experience sponsoring work visas and understand immigration requirements, so they're less likely to delay your offer due to unfamiliarity with the sponsorship process.
Search TN-specific roles through Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Business Intelligence Intern openings by TN visa sponsorship. The platform surfaces employers with verified sponsorship history, so you're not cold-applying to companies that may decline once they learn your status.
Request a specialty occupation letter early
Ask your prospective employer to draft a detailed support letter before you finalize the offer. The letter must explain why the BI intern role requires a specialized degree, not just a bachelor's in any field, to satisfy CBP or consular review.
Clarify internship duration in your TN documents
TN status is typically granted for up to three years, but internship offers are often shorter. Make sure your offer letter states a clear end date and that your I-94 duration covers the full internship period, including any planned extension.
Prepare for port-of-entry inspection if Canadian
Canadian citizens don't need a visa stamp and can apply for TN status directly at a land border or preclearance airport. Bring your signed job offer letter, degree transcripts, and credential evaluation if your degree is from outside North America.

Find Business Intelligence Intern JobsBusiness Intelligence Intern TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Business Intelligence Intern role qualify for TN visa sponsorship?
It can, but the classification depends on how the job duties are described. TN sponsorship for BI intern roles typically falls under the Computer Systems Analyst category, which requires a position centered on systems analysis, data architecture, or reporting tool development. Roles framed as general data entry or administrative support won't qualify. Your offer letter's language matters more than the job title itself.
How does TN visa sponsorship compare to H-1B for a Business Intelligence Intern?
TN visa sponsorship has no lottery, no annual cap for Canadians, and can be processed at the port of entry the same day. H-1B requires registration in a lottery that accepts less than half of applicants in most years, and the process takes several months. For an internship role with a defined end date, TN is almost always the faster and more predictable path if you're a Canadian or Mexican citizen.
Can a Canadian citizen get TN status for a BI internship without a full four-year degree?
CBP requires that you hold a qualifying credential, which is typically a bachelor's degree or higher in a relevant field like computer science, information systems, or applied mathematics. If you're still completing your degree, you generally won't qualify until it's conferred. Some roles accept a combination of a post-secondary credential and verifiable work experience, but the bar is higher and the outcome is less predictable at the port of entry.
How do I find Business Intelligence Intern jobs that offer TN visa sponsorship?
Most job postings don't specify TN visa sponsorship by name, which makes filtering by visa type difficult on general platforms. Migrate Mate is built for this search: it surfaces Business Intelligence Intern roles from employers with recent visa filings, so you can focus your applications on companies experienced with work visa sponsorship and likely prepared to support your TN application through the straightforward port-of-entry process.
What should a Mexican citizen expect from the TN visa process for a BI internship?
Mexican citizens must apply for a TN visa stamp at a U.S. consulate rather than at the port of entry. The consular process includes submitting your offer letter, degree documents, and DS-160 form, then attending an interview. Mexico also has a finite annual TN allocation under USMCA, so timing your application earlier in the fiscal year reduces the risk of hitting the cap before your internship start date.
