Internship:

Yes, an internship at Loyac and a co-op with the university.

I chose the University of Ottawa's Bachelor of Commerce with a specialization in accounting because of the amazing Co-op program they have and I loved the feel of the university and its location. I learned about the school at the Ontario University Fair and then toured it and it totally lived up to my expectations. I only applied to two universities and got into uOttawa a week after I applied with a pretty large scholarship.

I opted for this specific college because it was close to home which means that I was able to still live at home while I attended classes instead of staying in residence. I also chose this school because it seemed like the only way I can still take french classes and keep in touch with my second language

Placement:

The school has a near 95%+ co-op placement rate and has among the top 3 co-op programs in Canada. They also offer international co-op services. Co-ops are not always paid but often are. There are especially several opportunities in the government and hospital.

Internship:

They offer many on-campus jobs such as in the sports complex and campus stores. They have a variety of offered schedules and help accommodate during exam season. To find the jobs you can simply look at your ozone (school student portal).

Placement:

There are a lot of placements in the coop program. The university states that 90% of students enrolled in the coop program are offered a placement which is an excellent rate. The placements offered to vary from term to term, however, it is not unlikely to see offers from the big 5.

Internship:

My college offers a coop program, in which as a student you can apply to if you meet the criterion. This includes having a specific minimum GPA as described by your faculty. Once you are enrolled in the coop, you have access to a job board in which companies hire students based on both merit and experience. You also gain access to workshops that help increase the chances of getting a placement.

I chose the University of Ottawa because they offered a coop program. I also chose this school because I felt that as I wanted to go into account the fact that their business program allowed you to specialize early on was a plus.
