If you are a person aspiring to pursue higher education in Canada, by now you would’ve come across the term "DLI Canada." DLI, which stands for Designated Learning Institution, plays an important role in pursuing your Canadian educational journey. In this blog, we'll delve into the significance of DLI Canada, the DLI list, and reasons to get enrolled in a DLI to pursue your studies!
What is a Designated Learning Institution in Canada?
A Designated Learning Institution (DLI) is an educational institution in Canada approved by the provincial or territorial governments to host international students.
This official approval shows that the institution meets certain standards of quality education and adheres to regulations that safeguard the interests of both students and the Canadian education system.
As an international student, being enrolled in a DLI Canada is a mandatory requirement for obtaining a study permit.
An international student must acquire an Acceptance letter from DLI Canada to pursue courses that last more than 6 months, according to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulation (IRPR).
In the study application form, the candidate must include the DLI number (DLI#), which begins with the letter 'O'. So, make sure to check the DLI number of the respective DLI schools in Canada where you are applying.
DLI Canada list: The DLI Canada list refers to the compilation of educational institutions in Canada that have been officially designated by the government as Designated Learning Institutions.

Why Choose from the DLI list in Canada?
Each province or territory in Canada is responsible for recognising post-secondary schools that accept international students. Designated Learning Institutions include - colleges, universities, CEGEPs, private career colleges, and vocational and language schools.
In the case of various Quebec colleges, there are some exceptions; Despite the fact that the provincial government designated them, they do not have a DLI number.
The 3 most important reasons to choose from the DLI list in Canada are as follows,
- In Canada, DLI institutions are managed by the federal government or an agency.
- They adhere to all provincial regulations required for higher education in Canada.
- Degrees or diplomas achieved from DLI institutions in Canada are recognised internationally.
Factors to Consider Before Choosing from the DLI List
There are a few factors that you could also look into before picking your preferred DLI in Canada. They are,
- Programs Offered: Check to see if the DLI-approved college has programmes that fit with your academic and career aspirations.
- Location: Consider the city or province where the institution is located. Does it offer the lifestyle and opportunities you're seeking?
- Accreditation: See if the DLI in Canada is accredited by relevant authorities. Note that, an accreditation speaks to the institution's credibility.
- Campus Facilities: Research about the campus facilities, including libraries, labs, and student support centres, to ensure they meet your needs.
- International Community: A diverse student community enhances your cultural experience. Look for institutions that mainly attract students from various countries.
What is the DLI Number in Canada?
The DLI number refers to a unique set of numbers assigned to an institution or university on the DLI list in Canada. It is given to the post-secondary institution once IRCC receives confirmation of its designation status from the provincial or territorial ministry of education. Moreover, the IRCC website contains a complete list of authorize institutions in Canada.
To learn more about the DLI Canada list, follow the steps below:
- Navigate to the IRCC's main website.
- Select the province or territory in which your Designated Learning Institution is located to get the DLI list for that region.
- Search for the institution using its name, city, or other relevant information. The name, DLI number, and city of the institution are all visible.
- Take note of the DLI number and use it to further your application process to study in Canada.
How to Change DLI number in Canada?
An international student studying in Canada with a valid study permit is permitted to change their level of study, the institution of study, and/or program of study. They may, however, be required to notify the appropriate immigration office, apply for a new study permit, or obtain a study permit extension, depending on the desired change.
As long as you are still meeting the conditions of your study permit, you can change your DLI number. To do this, you will need:
- An online account. If you submitted your study permit application by mail, you will need to create an online account and link your application.
- Your study permit number. You can find this at the top right of the study permit. It begins with the letter ‘S’.
- Your new school’s DLI number. If you’re not sure, you can find it on this list of Canadian DLI numbers.
- Your new student ID number. You can find this on the acceptance letter from your new school
- Your start date at your new school.
