didnt get u ..

but no use of that work permit..its purely for co-op i guess..
No really? You don't say.

the proposed changes has no effect on co-ops apart from the fact that co-ops no longer need to get a work permit. So what you had at the border has nothing to do with the proposed changes at all. It is more for the benefit of us who currently have to wait 6 months before we can work off campus.

You have a course that includes a co-op. You MUST have a work permit for that. Your work MUST be related to your course AND give you course credit. It's not like you can study hospitality management and work at ford motors putting engines together.

Your case has NOTHING to do with the proposed changes.

Just head on over to www.cic.gc.ca and check out the news section or if you can find any other changes on there in regards to working off campus. That should give you an answer.

That's a different question and has nothing to do with the subject of this thread. Start a new one to get relevant answers.
