Thanks.. May I also know if one should obtain both a study permit and a work permit to be able to take up co-op for a semester?

you can't get both a student and work permit at the same time.
Student permits should allow you to work part time, up to 20 hours/week.

Is Police clearance required for study visa?

Depends on your nationality...

"You may need a criminal and security check (police certificate) if you are coming to Canada as a:

• caregiver,
• tourist,
• student or
• temporary worker."

Where you plan to apply for the study permit? Select your country of application
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/student.asp?_ga=2.128323020.1728028528.1524498481-1651224622.1522265983

then you get a country-specific document list.

You don't need one .

But , if you did choose YES in criminal background , then MAYBE CIC will request for a PCC .

Usually you submit your application without PCC and only get it , IF requested .

I got a co-op work permit for the length of the semester (3 months). This was for full time work experience to pass the program. You have to have a letter from college stating you have a co-op semester. It expired same time as my study permit

any document (e.g. letter from bank) proving you have enough funds as international student

Does it need to be the original documents or just a photocopy would be enough?
