Disclaimer: International Students
Please note that this program has a mandatory internship, which requires international students to have a co-op work permit. We recommend that international students apply for their co-op work permit at least 6 months prior to their internship start date. Please note, students will not be able to complete the internship without a co-op work permit. This may result in a delay in program completion.
Note: the co-op work permit is a separate work authorization from the one which may appear in the study permit. Students cannot use their study permit work authorization in order to complete their co-op or internship course. Students can visit the website of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada to learn more about applying for a co-op work permit and to check processing times. Students with questions about co-op work permits should contact the International Office.
