As an international student, can I take part in co-op and internship programs?
If you are in an academic, professional or vocational training program at a
designated learning institution that requires work experience,
such as a co-op or internship placement, you will need a
work permit as well as a study permit.
To get a work permit, you must prove that the work experience is essential to completing your program. Acceptable proof could include a letter from the school you are attending or a copy of the school curriculum.
The work experience cannot be more than 50% of your total program of study.
