A Letter of Acceptance (LOA), often known as an acceptance letter, officially confirms your admission to a Canadian university or college.
However, your acceptance letter should be from a Canadian Designated Learning Institution (DLI).
Getting a letter of acceptance from a designated learning institution is required to apply for a study visa.
A designated learning institution is a school the government has approved of a province or territory to accept international students.
Further, not all designated learning institutions (DLIs) offer Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) programs.
You can verify if your institution offers a PGWP program using the official database. Select the province your institution is, then search for your college or university.
Typically, only international students with an LOA are permitted to study in Canada (some exceptions apply, see details below).
Consequently, applying to and being accepted into a DLI should be your first priority.
