List of DLIs within Canada

A designated learning institution is a college/university authorized by a provincial or territorial government to host international students. To apply for a study permit, you need an acceptance letter from a designated learning institution (DLI). A DLI is a school approved by a provincial or territorial government to host international students. All primary and secondary schools in Canada are designated learning institutions. They are not included in this list. If you plan to attend a post-secondary school, make sure it is on this list. If the school you’re studying at loses its DLI status while you’re studying, you can keep studying until your study permit expires. 
 

Are all DLIs eligible for Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)?
As a pre-requisite for PGWP, you need to have graduated from a DLI but do remember that not all DLIs make you eligible for the PGWP Program i.e., graduates from certain DLIs are eligible for a work permit. Besides, while graduating from an eligible DLI will not automatically get you a work permit, you are equally required to meet other criteria to obtain the PGWP. You can check with our international education experts if your institution qualifies for the same.
