If I want to get a PGWP after graduation, what course should I choose? How many years will it take to get a 3-year work visa?

Most government colleges, or Public Colleges, and universities at the bachelor's and master's level and above will issue PGWP (Post Grad Work Permit - visa to work after graduation) from 2025. You have to check the program at the institution which one is PGWP Eligible (not every program will get PGWP). Recommend a course with a duration of 2 years because you will get a PGWP for 3 years (additional 1 year). If you study a course for less than 2 years, you will get a PGWP for the duration of your study. For example, if you study for 8 months, you will get a PGWP for only 8 months.

How should I choose a major when applying for study? And can I change majors after getting a visa?

When applying for a program, the admin recommends choosing a program that will truly develop your career. This will make it easier to write an SOP and get your visa approved. Once you've received your visa, you can then change your program. (However, the program you change to depends on whether there are seats available. If there are enough seats, you can change that semester. If they're full, you'll have to wait until the next semester.)

How is a co-op different from a practicum or work placement?

Co-op is when the institution gives students the option to do an internship during the semester or during the break. The institution will find a company for them, but the students must pass the interview themselves. Practicum/work placement is a course that the institution requires them to take in the course. The institution will find an internship for them, no need to interview for work, they can go and do it right away.
