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

Programs, with the four questions kept apart
Public program catalogues and a separate searchable IRCC institution directory, with admission, the study permit, the post-graduation work permit and permanent residence treated as four separate questions.
Public catalogues and institution listings

What you will find here
The listings, and where they come from
- Program reference facts from Ontario’s open data, with the original source, observation date and source update date when provided. Additional catalogue connections are published only when their reuse terms permit it.
- Reference programs show the institution, credential and field of study code where supplied. A catalogue entry does not establish DLI status, admission availability or work-permit eligibility. Registered institution listings can additionally supply duration, tuition, intakes, deadlines and delivery details.
- 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.
- Public catalogue entries are labelled with their source and usage terms. Statistics Canada tuition benchmarks provide separate context; they are not a program tuition quote, intake or deadline.
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 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.
