All international students participating in a work-integrated learning activity (co-op work term, field/practicum/clinical placement, or service-learning activity) must have a valid study permit that includes appropriate work authorization conditions prior to beginning their work-integrated learning activity (co-op/placement).
Please note: Students who do not submit a copy of a valid study permit with appropriate work authorization will not be able to begin their scheduled work-integrated learning activity (co-op/placement).

Work Restrictions:
Some study permits include restrictions such as:
- Not authorized to work in healthcare settings
- Not authorized to work with children
- Not authorized to work in certain occupations
If your placement/co-op is in a healthcare, childcare, or related field, you must ensure your study permit does not include restrictions.
If you have restrictions:
- Complete an IRCC medical exam (if required)
- Apply to amend your study permit
- Receive approval before starting your placement/work term
Important: Students cannot begin their placement/co-op work term unless their study permit includes valid work authorization and no conflicting restrictions.
