High School Study and Work Permit

[jzsonlw]

Hello everyone, I’m writing this thread in hope for some answers about my situation! I’m an grade 12 international student who’s studying in Toronto right now. I’m wanting to apply for accelerated co-op program but they require SIN number from me. I did apply for my number but they rejected my application because my study permit does not allow me to work. I’m applying for a new study permit for next year, can I tell them about this particular situation for co-op in high school.

You cannot work as a high school student as an international student. Your co-op would have to be volunteer/unpaid.
