Are there any apprenticeships for international students in Canada?

[DanSI]

An electrician, a welder or a carpenter. All of these careers would suit me, the last one attracts me the most.
Thing is, I am not a Canadian citizen nor a permanent resident, I'm just like most of you here- wanna move there and of course, do it in a legit way.
I heard these programs are open only for Canadian residents, however, I've noticed on CIC's website there's "Work as a co–op student or intern" (can't share a link on here). The only thing that MIGHT be a problem is "Your co-op or internship employment cannot form more than 50% (percent) of the total program of study". Either way, do you think there's anyway at all I could enroll in an apprenticeship program as a foreign student in Canada? (Anywhere in Canada)

Thanks.

To the best of my knowledge the answer is no. Apprenticeships are open to Canadian citizens and permanent residents only.

Co-ops are different since they are part of a diploma or degree and (as you've read) they cannot form more than 50% of the overall program.
