Is this a good salary or low/high? It's in Canada

When I was in college in 2019 I was paid 16/hour for a business analyst internship. The experience helped me land some great entry level roels then snowball that into good mid level roles shortly after graduating

It depends on your current financial circumstances.Is it a salary you depend on if you're living alone, or are you staying with your parents during studies? If the first case is true, then yes, its low - without factoring in your local for cost-of-living and you might need to search elsewhere. Even if its low, if you have no competing offers, especially in this crappy climate, it might be worth taking it anyway and you'd really have to cut back on expenses. Again, only you know your situation and can plan accordinglyIf second case, take whatever you can get to build your experience, the $$ will come later in your career post-graduation.

its seems generally on the lower end? check out https://www.levels.fyi/internships/ to see if theres anything comparable in terms of location, company size, funding. I agree with madscience though would expect something closer to 25~30/hr at least.

I replied to your other thread in the SWE community but that seems pretty low for a Software Intern. I would expect more around 25-30/hr at least. What's your YOE? Is this your second internship with that specific company?
