Hello 
Today I was discussing with the responsible of internships in my department at the university and I was told that I do not need a Co-op Work Permit if I want to do an internship during the summer since as an international student I am allowed to work up to 20hrs/week during academic sessions and full time during breaks, and summer is considered as a break so I can do my credited internship using my study permit since I would be able to work up to 40hrs/week.
I asked so why there is a Co-Op work permit, I was told that it refers to students who want to do internship during winter or fall sessions since they are not considered as a break.
Can anybody EXPERIENCED confirm this ?
