Over 60% of diploma and degree programs have a
co-operative work component
Co-op programs allow students to gain paid work experience in their professional field during their studies. For
example, a two-year diploma program might look like this:
Semester 1
Semester 2
Work Term 1
Semester 3
Work Term 2
Semester 4
Most co-ops are full-time and paid, so you can earn between $6,000 and $8,000 in each Co-op semester.
Students enrolled in our co-op programs and who meet academic requirements alternate PAID work terms with
semesters of academic study.
Our international co-op office team will assist in helping you develop your résumé and improving your interview skills
for your job search.
In addition to opportunities for work during your studies, with a graduate diploma of two years or more, qualifying
students can remain in Canada on a work permit for up to three years.
Completion of one year of a three-year work permit qualifies you to apply for permanent residency.
