Hi, I am applying for a study permit for a full time student. I have coop in the course that I am planning to enroll and I have planned to work outside the campus. Can I simultaneously apply for student permit and a working visa? Thanks

As a student, you can apply for a special student work permit to work off campus, see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-offcampus.asp

I guess you have to study 2 full semesters then apply for off campus work permit. First take the student visa and come to Canada. Then apply for off campus work permit from Canada. Go to international service center of your campus, they will guide you throughly.

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

Please I have a similar question. I am currently enrolled in a post graduate program, and it would be completed in April 2013 (convocation is in June 2013). However, my study permit is valid till May 31, 2013 and I'm thinking of applying for both an off-campus work permit and an extension of my permit since it expires on the 31th May. my question is - How long would it take to receive both permits?

Thanks in advance.

You can also apply for a co-op work permit when you apply for study permit from your home country. Provided co-op is a mandatory part of your studies and the letter from your college says so.
