DESIGNATED LEARNING INSTITUTIONS
In order to study in Canada for programs lasting longer than six months you are required to obtain a study permit. A study permit is only valid for schools that are recognized as Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs) by the Government of Canada.
A Designated Learning Institution is a school that has been approved to host international students by the province or territory it is bound to. In Canada, all primary and secondary schools are recognized as DLIs, as well as most colleges and universities.
