Work Permit Information
Employment Authorization Information
In addition to a valid study permit all international students must obtain a co-op work permit from Immigration Canada prior to going out on their first work term.
What is a Co-op work permit?
A co-op work permit can only be used for co-op jobs, and only for the designated period of co-op owrk terms. Please note that a co-op work permit is not the same as an off-campus work permit. Off-campus work permits cannot be used for co-op jobs and vice versa.
As work terms are an essential and integral part of a co-op student’s course of study, you would be eligible to apply for a co-op work permit through Immigration Canada.
In addition to the requirements for all visitors you must also provide a letter of support from the Co-op Office. When you get accepted into the Co-op program, see the Co-op Coordinator about getting this letter. Your next step will be to call Immigration Canada at (604) 666-2171 and request an application kit, which will be mailed to you. If you require more information you can visit www.cic.gc.ca.
