Is Waterloo AFM worth it for an International Student

Hi! I'm considering the AFM program at Waterloo as an international student and would love to hear your thoughts. Are international students able to secure the same co-op opportunities as local ones? With high tuition fees, can co-op earnings help cover the costs? How much do co-op students typically earn? Also, what are the job prospects after graduation for international students? I’m trying to understand the return on investment for this program.

Thanks for any insights!
