Study and Work Permits Required for all Coop or Internship
Programs
According to Citizenship and Immigration Canada, students who
apply for a Coop or Internship Program must apply for and obtain
both a Study and Work Permit. This is sometimes referred to as a
Student Work Permit. The student will need to pay for the Study
Permit but the Work Permit is exempt from an application processing
fee. Students who are planning to take a Coop or Internship Program
are required to have both a Study and Work Permit regardless of the
length of the Coop or Internship Program (e.g. regardless of
whether the program is less than six months or more than six months
in length).
Support for this requirement can be found in the following
Citizenship and Immigration Canada policy and program manuals:
Temporary Foreign Workers Guidelines FW 1 Section 5.38, Program
1 (C30) for foreign students, excluding medical interns and externs
and resident physicians.
Temporary Foreign Workers Guidelines FW 1 Section 5.26, Work
permits exempt from HRSDC confirmation (confirmation exemption
codes), Research, educational or training programs, (C30).
Overseas Processing OP 12 Section 5.22, HRSDC confirmation
exemptions, Employment forms an integral part of their course of
study (coop / practicum), Exempt (C30).
Overseas Processing OP 12 Section 5.11, Issuing study permits to
students attending short-term courses, R188(2)
