TRAVEL TO CANADA: VISA CONSIDERATIONS
Effective April 1, 2026, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) updated the requirements for co-op work permits. Eligible international students at post-secondary institutions are no longer required to obtain a separate co-op work permit to complete co-op terms, internships, or practicums. Eligible students may use the on-campus work authorization on their 天美mv天美 study permit to participate in an 天美mv天美-approved work placement.
Work placements must still constitute no more than 50% of the total study program and be an essential component of the program. Work-hour limits remain unchanged. For additional details and eligibility requirements, please visit the webpage.
