Hi all, I just received my student visa today. However I cannot find any information on the visa regarding my working permit. I did submit my LoA that includes a co-op and seek for a working permit once the visa issued.

Will this be a problem? Can I work for 20 hours per week as a student or should I apply again once I'm in Canada or the border agent will give me my working permit once I'm landed in Canada? Thanks.

Co-op is different thing , it's nothing to do with part time work permit,, it is given by college according to your academic performances at the last semester....

Part work permit is you can work 20 hrs per week simultaneously with your studies......and your studies permit allows you to do part work permit.....after registration with your college you apply your SIN number , its like identification number of canada and when you get your SIN number , you can work with any hassle......your taxes' and all done with this SIN number...and it is very easy to apply....
