Work-study “co-op” programs under threat in Canada
Work-study programs, known as “co-ops” in the Canadian market, face possible restrictions under proposed changes to the Canadian International Student Program (ISP). Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has flagged co-op programs, which allow students to study a language and then apply it through work for up to 12 months, as providing potential loopholes to enter the labour market. CIC says its proposed changes will “ensure that the primary intent of an international student in Canada is to study, and that this study takes place at an educational institution designated to host international students”.
