Hi,
I have read this before and it says any coop experience during my fulltime studies, however the coop I am doing right now is not a part of my academic training and I am graduated.
But then your question is misleading. Co-op work is part of your study, and you are only given permit to do co-op work if you can show that its part of your curriculum.

If you are referring to post-graduate work permit, then this is NOT called co-op

Co-op work doesnt count. Post grad work does.

OK, so my situation is something like this. I graduated from clg in Dec 2016. I applied for Post graduation work permit. As it was difficult to get FT hob right after graduation I thought of working as coop on my post graduation work permit. So basically it's a kind of paid volunteer work I am doing on my PGWP..

Any help is greatly appreciated

My advise is make your question clearer and people will hopefully be able to help you. As at the beginning you said co-op work but not part of your study which is contradicting, then you said post grad work permit but working as co-op, then you said (volunteer) (paid) work which also doesnt add up.
Maybe someone will understand what you mean
Good luck

Each type of work permit has its own conditions to be issued. Co-op permit is only issued if its part of one's study. Post grad permit you must have valid job to be considered for such permit. I am just trying to make sure there is no misrepresentation here and that i am not giving you the wrong advice. As that could lead to 5 years ban.

Hi Guys,

Quick question.

Currently my express entry profile is on na2 stage and I will be changing job next month, so I was wondering do I need to inform cic of this change as I am working in UAE so my passport will show change of visa and I am worried if I keep quiet then at the time of passport submission they will see this and I wanted to know if I keep quiet or inform them ?

Please advise as this question is killing me.

Regards,
Ameer

I believe, everything that concerns your application should be informed to CIC as you don't want to take risk before they find out. Still, I am not expert in this area. Wait for other's to reply though. Good Luck..!!
