There are many exciting opportunities for co-op students, including the opportunity to work abroad. If you do not possess a passport or your home country does not have an agreement with your desired work destination, you should speak to the coordinator as soon as possible in order to prepare all relevant paperwork.
The best place to find up-to-date information about getting a work permit or visa (which one to get and how long the process takes) is to go straight to the source which is the local Embassy, or that country’s Consulate.
This is a great resource to find the nearest Embassy of the country you are interested in: http://www.projectvisa.com/
