The students must get an Internship Work Permit if they are enrolled in a programme that requires mandatory co-op or internship terms (along with your Study Permit). If the co-op/internship begins in the first term of classes, the application for the Co-op/Internship Work Permit must be submitted at the same time as the Study Permit. In case of procedural delays, one should apply for a co-op/internship work visa at least three months before the internship begins. This application is free of charge. Suppose the student has a valid Study Permission. In that case, employment in question is a prerequisite of the programme, and the employment represents less than 50% of the programme, the students are eligible for this permit. Citizenship and Immigration Canada has information on study permit processing times.

On-Campus Work: There is no need for a work permit. The student must have a valid Study Permit and be enrolled full-time to be able to work on campus (except during scheduled breaks & the last term before graduation).

Off-Campus Work: If you are granted a Study Permit, you will be instantly authorised to work off-campus for 20 hours per week throughout the academic session and full-time during specified breaks. If the applicants are granted a Study Permit, they will not need to apply for a separate work permit.
