Hi, I was wondering if a candidate needs to be Indian, live in India or intend to go to India? Can the research be conducted totally in Canada
? Is there a clinical research (medical) option? How many Canadian dollars are Rs10,000? Also, can a candidate be employed if she'd be happy to leave the employment once accepted?
Thanks
