Don’t worry bro. When u will be in canada just go to your college international student department and they’ll tell you what to do.
Or sometimes you’ll get it from airport also by showing your Loa.

Hi, Thanks for your response!

My fear is that they may not issue it to me at the airport. I need it to start my course because working starts immediately upon resumption! Please when were you able to get yours?

Hi, i am facing the same exact issue. Got S-1 when instead i need SW-1 as my co-op starts on the same day as my course starts. What did you do ? How to get the category changed???

Hello, I received an S1 Visa but my course has a coop work program. How can I contact the Canadian Embassy to have it changed to SW1? I'm really worried as I am about to fly to Canada in 3 weeks. Im afraid that I will encounter some problems when I arrive.

Don't worry. Most likely your co-op work permit was not given or got missed. If you don't get co-op work permit, then you can apply for it once you reach Canada. Don't do anything from home country.

You have study permit and have valid status, you also have valid visa, so you can travel to Canada. Don't worry, don't take tension.

I don't know, you can try and ask. Normally co-op starts in second semester, so you should have time to apply. Mine is mandatory and starts in first semester as well. I have to check my passport when it comes.
