Hi everyone,
I'm applying to St Lawrence College for 'Culinary management co-op apprenticeship' diploma program for 2 years.
Co-op: An Academic Programs, where work experience is part of the curriculum.
Now I've heard from many different places that in order to apply for a study permit for a Co-op program, one should also apply for
a work permit before leaving canada.
and at the CIC website, it is stated that,
'Foreign students who wish to participate in a co-op or internship program must apply for a work permit as well as a study permit.'
but when i download the application package from the CIC website,
it says:
'This application is for students who are already in Canada and who wish to apply for a work permit in one or more of the following programs:
Off-campus work permit program;
Co-op work program;
Post-graduation work employment program'
Now, I'm really confused as for what to do about it.
Should I apply for a Study Permit alone or apply for study/work permit at the same time before leaving from my country.
And will applying for a Co-op program make my case weaker or create some hurdles in my visa process?
Experts, please reply i'm counting on you guys here.
