Canada doesn't have a good record of doing that kind of thing.

In the early 1990's, when the University of Waterloo dropped the requirement of 
COBOL for the co-op programme in Computer Science, rather than working it out 
with them, at least one Canadian Bank just stated they will not hire co-ops 
from there, anymore.

No coordination, accomodation, or olive branch.
Just a blanket statement that implied no hiring even if the co-op had COBOL.
