Is unpaid practicum require a co-op work permit?

[FirassKJ]

Hi there! So my program includes a 12-16 weeks of unpaid practicum in its curriculum.

Now, when applying for a study permit, IRCC asks if my program of study includes "work?

I quote from IRCC
"Is work an essential component of your studies? If yes, submit an evidence of work requirement in study You must provide a letter or curriculum from your educational institution stating that work is a necessary requirement for the completion of your studies."

Is unpaid practicum considered a work for which co-op work permit is required?

Thanks
