This helps students cover some of their living expenses while gaining valuable work experience.

A Designated Learning Institution (DLI) is a school authorized by a provincial or territorial government in Canada to host international students. To apply for a study permit in Canada, you must have an acceptance letter from a DLI. Note that not all schools in Canada are DLIs, so it's important to check if the institution you are applying to has this designation.

 

7. How do I apply for a study permit in Canada?

To apply for a study permit, you will need an acceptance letter from a DLI, proof of sufficient funds to cover tuition and living expenses, a valid passport, and a clean criminal record. You may also be required to provide medical exam results. The application can be submitted online or at a Canadian visa office in your home country.

Most Canadian institutions require proof of English or French language proficiency. For English-speaking universities, common tests include IELTS and TOEFL.

Each institution has its own minimum score requirements, so it's important to check with the specific program you are applying to.

 

9. Can I stay in Canada after I graduate?

Yes, after completing a study program at a DLI, international students can apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP).

This experience can help them qualify for permanent residency through immigration programs such as the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) or Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs).
