Programs, with the four questions kept apart

Programs at designated learning institutions, with admission, the study permit, the post-graduation work permit and permanent residence treated as the four separate questions they are.

What you will find here

The listings, and where they come from

  • Programs supplied by the institutions themselves or entered by our team from the institution’s own pages, with the date each was checked.
  • For each program: the institution and its DLI number, the credential, the length, the field of study code, tuition, intakes and deadlines, and how it is delivered.
  • IRCC’s own list of designated learning institutions, searchable, with whether IRCC lists programs there as leading to a post-graduation work permit and the date we read the list. A program’s DLI number is matched against that list before it goes for review.
  • Programs from provincial open data, labelled with their dataset and licence, where a province publishes them, and tuition benchmarks from Statistics Canada. They are reference data, not listings, and they carry no tuition quote, intake or deadline.

Where listings come from, and the rules for each source

How each listing is explained

In terms of your plan, from the rules behind our assessments

Each point below becomes a line on a listing: met, unknown or not met for you, with the official page it comes from.

  • Admission is the institution’s decision; we show its stated entry requirements and leave it there.
  • Study permit: the designated institution, the provincial attestation letter and the money you must show, from the rules behind our assessments.
  • Post-graduation work permit: the program length, the institution’s eligibility, your language level, and the field-of-study requirement for programs that have one.
  • What could follow: the Canadian Experience Class after Canadian work, and provincial streams for graduates.
Honest by design

What we won’t do

We never present a school’s offer of admission as a study permit, or a study permit as a path to permanent residence.

We disclose any paid arrangement with an institution on the listing, and we do not let it change what we show you.

We never share your details with an institution unless you ask us to.
