My understanding is that no other Canadian schools have a co-op program that is as established and has the same scale and reputation. With those attributes come top quality employers, more responsibilities on the job, etc. (generalizing, of course).
From the Waterloo co-op website [1]:
17,300 co-op students enrolled over three semesters in more than 120 programs.
4,500 employers hire Waterloo co-op students.
