# Canada moves to expand work authorization for international students and graduates. As of April 1, 2026, post-secondary international students in Canada no longer need a co-op work permit to participate in student work placements such as co-ops, internships, and practicums. The change is the first in a package of amendments to study and work authorizations that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced on April 1, 2026. The remaining proposals — including expanded work authorization for Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) applicants and foreign apprentices — are still in the consultation phase. As of April 1, 2026, post-secondary international students no longer need a separate co-op work permit for student work placements. Secondary school students still need a co-op work permit. Students who already applied for a post-secondary co-op work permit can withdraw their application. Under the current system, international students enrolled in programs with a co-op or work-integrated learning component must hold both a study permit and a separate co-op work permit.

No. While temporary foreign workers may get a study permit to use in their spare time, the opposite does not apply to international students.
