Second and the most important, you gain the experience you can put on your resume which will be really useful to get a job after you graduate and eventually your PR.

'eventually your PR'
Co op work hours are not counted as your work experience, if you need to apply for PR.
enfield said:Hi,
Co op work hours count as your work experience only under Saskatchewan PNP program (International graduates).
Maherd said:alright, but they don't get counted for federal applications or they do ?
enfield said:Hi,
No, it's not applicable under federal.
but this Sask program looks more like a pilot program. Even there was a similar program under Manitoba PNP where there was no requirement for a job offer, but due to "heavy rush" they simply closed it.
P.S said:What is this Saskatchewan? I've no idea about this so,please let me know seniors.

Co op work hours are not counted as your work experience, if you need to apply for PR. Though they lead to a good job.And a good job would lead to a PR. Thanks and sorry draxz1289 no hard feelings![]()

OP: getting a co-op job is your responsibility just like getting a job after graduation but the college or the uni does help by posting co-op specific jobs. My friend just got a co-op interview at KPMG which is a huge MNC and I did my co-o at the college's alumni office for two terms with 16/hr pay and graduated then found a job and did my one year to gain the exp for the Canadian Experience Class category to apply for my residency and applied for it in August and got my medical.... so yeah the co-op option is good but you have to start looking for the co-op job soon and get it.
