Practical order
- 1
Use the current IRCC rules and school curriculum to confirm that the work placement is required to complete the study program and record its expected dates and share of the program.
- 2
Request the current school letter confirming that all students in the program must complete the placement to obtain the credential.
- 3
Review the current study permit, passport validity, full-time or other required study status and the live co-op eligibility rules before applying.
- 4
Open the current IRCC checklist and prepare the school letter, passport, study permit, enrolment and placement records plus any status or medical evidence requested.
- 5
Submit the co-op work-permit application through the applicant’s own IRCC account and retain the confirmation and every later request.
- 6
Read the issued work permit for employer, occupation, location, medical and expiry conditions and compare them with the school placement before working.
