Can non-Canadian students do Co-op?
Yes. There are some limitations, as non-Canadian students cannot apply for government-funded positions, NSERC funding or positions in the federal government. International students are required to apply for a free Co-op work permit when they are accepted into Co-op, which allows them to work off-campus for work terms. Like all students, international students are encouraged to work closely with a program coordinator and attend workshops to learn more about the job application process and understand interview procedures. We assist international students with the application for a co-op work permit.
