    What are Career Programs or Co-Op Diplomas?

    Canada offers a wide range of educational opportunities, and one of the most sought-after by both Canadian and international youth is vocational training courses like Co-Op diplomas. These programs stand out because they include both theoretical and practical components, teaching you everything you need to know to immediately enter the workforce. In fact, the practical part often takes place in real companies and is usually paid.

    These courses are only offered by certified colleges and have a very good reputation both within and outside of Canada.

    Their main advantage is that during the theoretical part of your Co-Op course, you can work part-time (20 hours per week). And during your internships, you’ll have the opportunity to work full-time (40 hours per week) in a company related to your studies. So, by the time you earn your diploma, you’ll already have some work experience!

    Moreover, if your course includes holidays, you can also work full-time during that time.

    On the other hand, studying a Co-Op course at a public college is the best option if you want to extend your stay and apply for a Post Graduation Work Permit later.

    Certified courses or diplomas without Co-Op

    Another option to study Vocational Training in Canada is to pursue a diploma without Co-Op. The only difference is that in these courses, there is no practical component, so you can only work 20 hours per week while studying and 40 hours per week during holidays.

    ¿Cómo funcionan los Career Programs o Co-Op?

    As we mentioned earlier, Co-Op diplomas and Career Programs are divided into two parts, one theoretical and one practical, which usually have the same duration.

    These courses can last from 6 months (with 3 months of theory and 3 months of practice) to 2 years (1 year of theory and 1 year of practice).

    During the theoretical part, you can work 20 hours a week in whatever job you like.

    Things change for the better when it’s time for your internships. During this part of the course, you can work full-time (40 hours a week). Of these 40 hours, half must be spent working for a company related to your studies, and the other 20 hours can be used wherever you want.

    Additionally, the schools themselves will help you create your resume and provide access to a job board where you can quickly find a company to do your internships, and they typically pay for it, as internships in Canada are usually paid.

    Our advice is to take advantage of this opportunity and choose a company where you can work full-time during your internship period. It will add value to your resume, especially if you plan to apply for one of the post-study visas for Canada later.

    What Are the Requirements for Studying a Co-Op or Career Program?

    Now it’s time to prepare your documents. Yes, it’s a hassle, but at this point, a stack of papers won’t stand between you and Canada, right? To make life easier, we’ve prepared a list of everything you need to gather:

    • Be over 18 years old.
    • A valid passport with at least 6 months of validity.
    • A student visa.
    • Valid international health insurance for the entire duration of the course.
    • Depending on the course, you may need to have completed secondary education in your country.
    • Proof of a medium to high level of English proficiency.
    • Acceptance letter from the school.

    Seems like a lot? Well, get in touch with Dingoos. We’ll help you for free with your visa application, course selection, and all the paperwork required for your enrollment.

    What Are the Advantages of Studying a Co-Op or Career Program?

    Studying a Co-Op or Career Program offers several benefits:

    • It allows you to work full-time during a portion of your visa.
    • It combines studies and work within a company related to your field of study.
    • Since it includes both theory and practice, you graduate better prepared and with less fear of entering the workforce.
    • If you want to stay in Canada, the practical component helps you enter the Canadian job market, especially if you’re interested in applying for permanent residence later on.
    • If you aim to start your career in another country, having real experience in a Canadian company looks impressive on the international job market.
    • Your internships can be with top companies in Canada, and if you perform well, they may offer you sponsorship once you complete your internship.
    • You’ll make valuable connections that can help you find work in the future. Networking is the best way to secure a good job, and by doing your internships in a real company, you’ll have many opportunities to make valuable connections.
    • The longer the course, the more time you have to explore Canada. This country and all its wonders are worth spending 2 years doing a Co-Op course.
    • These courses are a good investment since you’ll gain work experience and earn money during your internships.
    • A Co-Op course will help you grow as a professional and as a person, teaching you valuable lessons about empathy, respect, teamwork, and assertiveness that will serve you well throughout your life.

    Long-Term Benefits of Studying a Co-Op Course in Canada

    As mentioned earlier, if you decide to study a Co-Op course at a public college, you can apply for a Post Graduation Work Permit upon completion.

    With this permit, you can live and work full-time in Canada for a period equal to the duration of your course (and sometimes longer).

    For international students looking to stay permanently in the country, a Co-Op course will be a great asset because, after studying, they can apply for a Post Graduation Work Permit to gain more work experience before applying for permanent residency.

    If you choose to study at a private college, you’ll save money since these courses are slightly cheaper, and you can also work part-time during the course and full-time during holidays. The major drawback is that you won’t have the option to apply for the Post Graduation Work Permit once you finish your studies.

    What Types of Co-Op Courses Can You Study in Canada?

    You already know all the benefits that Co-Op courses offer, both for you and your resume. Now, let’s explore what these courses are about and what skills you will learn.

    In general, the most in-demand courses are related to the business world, design and graphic arts, tourism, photography, culinary arts, computer science, and the fields of technology and innovation. But there’s much more. Discover them all below!

    Studying in Canada

    If you're thinking about living abroad for a while to improve your English, delve deeper into your studies, and perhaps perfect or learn a new skill, we have the destination for you: Canada!

    Studying English

    If you choose to study English in Canada, you'll not only return with a higher level of English but also have opened many doors for your personal and professional future.

    Studying French

    If you're thinking about learning French to broaden your horizons, whether for work or personal reasons, you can achieve your goals in Canada. Keep reading!

    University Studies

    Studying at a university in Canada is an experience that will change your life. Its universities are among the best in the world, thanks to their high educational standards and wide range of programs.

    How much does it cost to study a Co-Op or Career Program in Canada?

    Studying a Co-Op or Career Program in Canada costs between $5,000 CAD and $9,500 CAD per semester.

    The price will vary depending on factors such as the duration of the course, the location of the school, or the specific program you choose.

    Although many of the institutions offering Co-Op courses are public, this does not mean they are free. What it means is that all these schools have the Canadian educational quality seal, which has a worldwide reputation. Furthermore, only if you study at a public college can you apply for the Post Graduation Work Permit after completing your studies.

    If the cost of the course has discouraged you a bit, don’t hesitate to write to us. Schools in Canada often offer financing plans, and at Dingoos, we will help you with all the procedures.

    How do I find a company for my Co-Op internship?

    One of the main advantages of studying in a country with a quality educational system is that they have everything planned and prepared for their students to become the professionals of the future.

    That’s why schools have agreements with companies in the sector that accept Co-Op students as interns each year to do their internships and get to know new talent.

    Other institutions help students prepare and choose a position in a company where they can do their internships.

    However, it’s best to start networking while you’re still studying. Talk to your professors and let them guide you and give you advice on what you can do and where you can look for a job. Each profession is a world, and there’s nothing better than someone who is already working to provide you with the information you need.

    How can Dingoos help you?

    If you want to embark on an adventure and take a Co-Op course in Canada, don’t think twice and write to us.

    At Dingoos, we will take care of all the paperwork for enrollment and the boring procedures that no one wants to do, so you can focus solely on planning your trip calmly and enjoying the scenery.

    Plus, we’ll put you in touch with other Dingoos who share your concerns so you can form a Canadian squad with people from here and there.

    Remember that the services we offer you at Dingoos are a complete package, 100% free, and specially created to ensure you lack nothing on your trip to Canada.

    So, you know, we’ll be waiting for you on the other side of your comfort zone.
