Hello,

I am taking part in this program: https://www.cna.nl.ca/program/computing-systems-engineering-technology-co-op

The 3 year program includes only two terms of co-op. Will the two CO-OP terms affect my PGWP?

No, a Co-Op term is considered a part of your studies and will not affect your PGWP.

What if I don't find CO-OP jobs?

Then you will fail the course and then you will not have graduated and therefore you will not be elegible for PGWP.

Either if your going for such a course see how much the college is going to help and be ready to search for co-ops on your own.

It might be difficult but the co-op will be invaluable if you want to work in Canada.

So, I don't need to do CO-OP?

No !!!! If your program has mandatory co-op then you have to do the co-op!

If you don't get a co-op in your work term you will FAIL your course.

I mean. If I choose another program that doesn't have co-op, it won't matter to the c.v. for when I work in Canada?

And how do I work in Canada after graduation without work experience? Because I think most companies require work experience.

If your program does not have have a co-op then you will not have any work experience in Canada.

The whole point of having a CO-OP is that you are working in a real-life Canadian firm. It gives you very important work experience which will help you in the future.

Doing CO-OP is a benefit for you only. If you are worried about not finding a CO-OP job then you can take a course without co-op.
