As long as your internship was part of your program of study, you should just put that you were studying. If you claim it was employment, then you will also need to add it to work history and get the employment reference letter. That would be fruitless since work while you study full time is ineligible.

I would put both in personal history.

2 years of study (since internship is part of study) and (optionally) 8 months of internship separately again.

And no you don't have to get letters or anything for this job because you are not claiming points for it. Just don't put it in work history in your express entry profile -- only create entries for employment that you want to claim points for.

the whole co op program is part of studies, you need to have to mention the coop program, your personal history should say as education.When you attach the transcripts in your education, it will show your coop program there as part of studies.

No. Unless it's also in your work history in EE profile (i.e. claiming points for it).
