The application was filed from inside Canada as an outside-Canada application during the COVID period, and the visa was approved one day after biometrics were completed. The write-up notes that the document was to be received locally by mail. The client was entering on an ILAC co-op program.
The post observes that many students had their study plans changed or cancelled because of the pandemic, and describes an ILAC promotion referred to as 50+50, under which working people in Korea take classes from Korea alongside their jobs and then go on to the practicum and a work permit the following year. The stated benefits are saving on living costs, since Vancouver rent and living expenses are a heavy burden on international students, and being able to combine the course with a job in Korea.
The write-up also explains the co-op format generally: study combined with an internship, so that six months of study is followed by six months of a related internship. During the study period the student may work twenty hours a week, and after the study portion ends full-time work is possible. It adds that the ILAC diploma is recognised in business sales, marketing and customer service, and that a student returning to Korea can present the internship experience and English ability as credentials.
