It is reported that starting April 15, all institutions on the Canadian immigration authority's Designated Learning Institutions (DLI) list must report the enrollment status of international students within 60 days. This requirement applies to issues such as absenteeism, leave of absence, or failure to register for courses. Furthermore, starting in 2016, DLI institutions are required to report the status of international students twice a year. If an international student's status does not meet the requirements of their study permit, their student visa may be cancelled. Students studying in Canada (courses) should take note of this.
At this point, some friends might say, this is so troublesome, and Canada doesn't observe the Chinese New Year, so does that mean we can't go home? ?Then why don't I just choose a school that is not on the Canadian immigration authority's Designated Learning Institutions list when applying for study in Canada!
At first glance, many friends think this makes a lot of sense, but they still have doubts in their hearts!You are right to feel this way; things are really not that simple. Today, the editor will popularize some information about DLI (Designated Learning Institutions). In order to regulate the local education market in Canada, create a better learning environment for all international students studying in Canada, and ensure the quality of teaching in schools, the Canadian government has clearly stipulated since June 1, 2014, that schools not on the DLI list will not be allowed to recruit overseas international students.
Furthermore, the teaching quality of Canadian schools not on the DLI list cannot be guaranteed, and many are similar to what Chinese people call "diploma mills". When applying for Canadian institutions, you must choose schools on the DLI list, otherwise, the losses may outweigh the gains.
To specifically implement this regulation, the Canadian Immigration visa office has also made corresponding regulations. For any student visa application submitted, in addition to the previously required letter of acceptance, proof of funds, and other application materials, the DLI number has also become one of the required materials(information). If the applicant cannot provide the DLI number of the intended school, the visa application will not be approved.
At the same time, the Canadian immigration department has gradually tightened the entry for investment immigration and shifted its focus to Canadian skilled immigration, especially immigration for international students. Now, here is the key point!For international students in Canada to apply for immigration, their graduating school must be on the DLI list recognized by the immigration department, otherwise, it will not be approved. International students who intend to immigrate must pay attention to this.
So, please don't take any chances!Since you have gone to Canada to study, we still need to "study hard and make progress every day", otherwise you may have your student visa cancelled due to absenteeism, skipping classes, and other behaviors. Remember this. Next, let's take a look at which institutions are on the DLI list with the editor!
