co-op programs and the visa process.

[aisha171]

I chose a co-op major and I recently got the admission letter. And now I am applying for the visa and in the visa application there is a question "Is work an essential component of your studies?".
if my answer is "yes" that means that I will need to apply for co-op work permit.

My question is when will I need to apply for the work permit if my answer is Yes? and will that affect my chances of getting the visa?

Can I just answer the question with no and will they be able to know that work is an essential component of my studies from my acceptance letter?

I really hope someone will answer me.
Thaaank you

You have to answer "Yes" to the question. You also don't need to apply for a work permit along side your student permit. Since co-op is clearly stated on your application letter plis you answering that work is an essential part of your study...they will work on your visa as two in one...thus...they will give you the study permit and work permit by the time you Receive your visa approval. I am able to say this cos I have also applied for study permit with co-op route and again...my brother is already in Canada doing co-op also.

So you have no worries.

Yes, you have to answer Yes also. So far as it is co-op, it is a strong YES

 

[Jeet050]

Yes, you have to answer Yes also. So far as it is co-op, it is a strong YES

I answered "yes" and then in the document checklist section they are asking for "A Proof of Work Requirement", I emailed the University and told them that I need the proof. They said that I can upload the letter of acceptance as a proof , and if the immigration official requested further information that they'll provide me with the information.

The problem is the acceptance letter is just a regular acceptance letter,and the 'co-op' is only mentioned next to the program of study. And I will have already uploaded because it is also a requirement, so does it make any sense to upload it twice?

I am afraid any error in the document checklist will cancel the eligibility to the visa....do they accept the LOA or do I need to ask the University again for a separate proof or for a Curriculum Paper?

sorry if I wrote too much, I am confused and I would really a ppreciate any help.
