Important update for international students in Canada.

IRCC has removed the separate co-op work permit requirement for many eligible post-secondary international students. This means that, in many cases, students can now complete required co-ops, internships, practicums, and mentorship placements using their study permit, as long as the proper work conditions are listed on it.

This is a helpful change, but not every student is automatically eligible. Program requirements, study permit conditions, school confirmation letters, and student status still matter.

We’ve broken down what this means for students and schools in our latest blog:
