Unless there is a temporary IRCC public policy in place, you must wait until your coop work permit is approved before you begin your coop, placement, practicum or internship. Please review the IRCC website for up-to-date information and ensure that you meet all the requirements and restrictions outlined by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). If you are unsure of the coop work permit requirement, please book an appointment with the International Student Immigration Advisor to discuss your situation.
