The student accommodation plan is prepared in accordance with the Ontario Human Rights Code and the George Brown College Accessible Learning Services policy. It outlines the accommodations required by the student listed on the accommodation plan. This information is private and confidential and should not be printed or saved to file. Accommodations are determined based on the impact of the student’s disability(ies) and the barriers the student encounters in the academic setting.

Accommodations must not compromise the measured outcomes of the assessment or assignment.
The Accessibility Consultant working with your program is available to consult with you regarding how we can ensure the accommodations are available for the student.

APPLY ONLINE!

International Students must have valid documents to be able to stay and study in Canada.

Whenever possible, students are encouraged to apply online to extend their study permit, TRV, and/or apply or renew their work permits. If you have already submitted a paper application, please do not submit an electronic application as this will not speed up processing.

CO-OP WORK PERMIT

International students who are undertaking any kind of field education (co-op, externship, practicum, clinical, etc.), regardless of length, must have a valid co-op work permit. You can submit this application at the same time as your study permit application. If you did not apply for your co-op work permit along with your study permit or did not receive one with your study permit, you will have to submit a separate application through CIC while in Canada well in advance of the start date of your placement.

The work permit is a document required by Citizenship & Immigration Canada (CIC) before international students can start their field placement, work placement, externship, practicum or volunteer work, even if these placements are unpaid. Students in programs that require placements involving hospital settings and/or interaction with families and children in Canada are required by the CIC to undergo a medical exam by a Panel Physician. Medical exams performed by a Panel Physician are valid for up to 12 months. If you completed a medical exam for your visa application and it is still valid, you may be able to submit proof of this medical with your application for a co-op work permit. The CIC medical exam is in addition to completing the mandatory program-specific pre-placement health forms which may be mandated by your academic department.

FEATURES

• No application fee required for processing
• Employer indicated on the work permit is George Brown College
• Apply early, as processing times vary and you must have your co-op work permit in order to begin your placement
• Cannot be used in place of an off-campus work permit and must only be used for your field education purposes

REQUIREMENTS

The International Centre will prepare the Co-Op Certification Letters based on a list of students provided by the Academic Department. The list will include the following information:

• Name of Student and Student ID Number
• Program
• Term of student (e.g. first, second)
• Placement Period (from when to when)
• Total Number of Placement Hours and whether placement is one-time only or for each term. If placement is done each term, total number of hours per term.

When the Certification Letters are ready, the International Centre will either:

1. Inform the academic department so student can pick up the letter from the International Centre; or
2. Send the letter to the department where it can be picked up by the student.
