Letter of Acceptance to a Canadian Designated Learning Institution

The first step for applying for the Canadian Study Permit is getting a Letter of Acceptance from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) In Canada.

The LOA is necessary to apply for the study permit in Canada. To get the Letter of Acceptance, the Candidate first needs to apply to the selected DLI. Once the application is accepted, the Institute may offer the Letter of Acceptance. A letter of Acceptance should contain the following things.

Students Basic Details including the Full Name, DOB, and Mailing Address
Students ID
Name of the institution and the official person of contact
The contact information of the Institute
The Number of the Institution DLI
The DLI licensing Information duly stated in case the Institute is private
The Type of School
The details of the Study program detailing a year of study, plan, and level
For which the applicant is accepted
Start date of the education program
The latest date which student will register for the course
Duration of course- Part Time or Full Time
Estimated fees and scholarships
The requirement of internship and training for work placement
letter of the Acceptance expiration date
Underlying conditions like pre-required courses, qualification and or proof of language
IN the case of DLI Quebec, the CAQ is also needed

There should be a date of expiry in the Letter of Acceptance. In case the study permit processing does not complete within the expiration period of the letter. The student needs to procure an extension letter from the institution and sent to IRCC to aid the permit application.
The IRCC has a template for the LOA along with the instructions to complete the required information. The students should note that the Letter of Acceptance from a DLI is not an assurance that the study permit application is approved. The IRCC has the sole discretion to allow the permit.
