I agree with this completely! Many northern indigenous communities do not have access to internet (http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/fast-promises-on-slow-internet-in-the-north-1.3209588) and this can create jobs, better across-Canada communications, etc.

I completely agree with Cindy's comment "Plenty of new immigrants are health-care professionals and we need to increase our ability to recognize their credentials in Canada and offer them decent jobs in their field."
This applies to all professions. So many people who immigrate to Canada are not being utilized for their education and experience in their professions because of this bias. There is so much Canada has to learn from the rest of the world, but we can't if we have no way of testing and verifying the education of those who immigrate here.
I have also heard from recent immigrants to Canada that they are unable to get a job in their field because they are considered to have an unqualified education, yet they are also not given jobs within the field they have studied at all because they are over-qualified to do them.

I agree, co -ops are wonderful ways to gain experience! Especially because a lot of entry-level jobs seem to prioritize experience, which can be difficult to get as a new graduate etc.
I will add to this that internships should always be paid positions, as oftentimes students who don't have the opportunity to do co-ops are unable to take on an unpaid internship, go to school and have a part-time job to help pay for their tuition at the same time. This is often the reason students can't afford to have experiences that would help their careers in the long term upon graduating. And this would also prevent companies and organizations using unpaid internships to fill all the entry-level jobs that new graduates are looking for!
