- A student who has a mandatory co-op/internship requirement as part of their academic program must obtain a co-op/internship work permit before work begins.
- With a co-op/internship work permit, the student can work full time to complete the co-op internship.
- A remark at the bottom of the work permit should state:
Issued under R205(C)(I); only for work forming an essential/integral part of the course as per McGill University.
- A student wanting to complete an optional internship must respect the requirements for Off-Campus work.
- The student may not use their co-op/internship work permit to complete a non-mandatory internship.
What if the student's Study Permit (or Work Permit) has expired?
- As long as the student applied to renew their Study (or Work) permit before it expired, they are considered to have maintained status under which they have the right to continue working. As stated on the Immigration Canada website:
If a temporary resident applies for renewal of their work or study permit and their permit expires before a decision is made, R186(u) and R189 (the right to continue working or studying under the same conditions pending a determination of their application for renewal) apply only as long as the person remains in Canada.
