international student with co op program

[Christinebvs12]

Good Day,

I am from the Philippines, me and my husband are applying for Canada via a student visa. I will be the one to study, the school that I applied for recommended me the co op program of Early Childhood Education. The program is a compressed 16 months program with fully paid internship of 6 months but it is not PGWP. My question is, what is the next step after I complete the program?

You can either return home or apply for PGWP

You need to check if the the college is a Designated Learning Institute.

Yes it is, but does not offer PGWP eligible programs. The program I chose is a co op program

The answer is pretty simple. If you want PGWP you need to get enrolled somewhere else

do you have an idea if PGWP would be a better choice compared to co op programs?

PGWP and Co-Op are not mutually exclusive. If your program does not qualify for PGWP it means it is a garbage program and they are using their 'co-op' to lure you in. There are plenty of programs that offer both Co-Op and qualify for PGWP. You need to take the onus and do some research
