What Is a Canada Study Permit & DLI?

A Canada Study Permit is an official document issued by IRCC that allows foreign nationals to study at Designated Learning Institutions (DLI) in Canada. It is not the same as a visa; you may also receive a visitor visa or eTA to enter Canada.

What is a DLI?

A Designated Learning Institution (DLI) is a school approved by a provincial or territorial government to host international students. Ensure your program supports future PGWP options.
