加拿大指定院校 Designated Learning Institutions(DLI)
只有在加拿大指定院校(简称DLI)就读的国际留学生才能获得学习许可,并可以在全日制就读专业课期间合法工作。
指定院校的录取信,是加拿大学习许可的必要申请材料之一。
加拿大所有的小学与中学都是指定院校。高等院校只有得到省政府授权后,才有资格接受国际留学生成为指定院校。在将加拿大专上高等教育院校作为申请目标时,需要确保所申请的学校或学习项目被罗列在加拿大指定院校名单上。
如果留学生在毕业后希望留在加拿大,需要确保其选择的学校或学习项目,让留学生毕业后有资格申请毕业后工作许可。
留学加拿大一般需要两个主要步骤:首先,需要被加拿大指定院校录取。收到录取信后,向加拿大移民、难民及公民部申请学习许可。获批学习许可的前提是被加拿大学校录取。
正在高等院校就读的留学生,可以自由转学、更换专业、更改学历等级,无需申请新的学习许可。当被希望转入的学校或学习项目录取后,国际留学生需要通过MyCIC账户通知移民部。

A Designated Learning Institution, or DLI, is a school that admits international students.
A letter of acceptance from a DLI is essential to obtaining a Canadian study permit.
All primary and secondary schools in Canada are DLIs. Post-secondary schools must receive permission from the provincial government to accept international students. If you want to come to Canada to study at the post-secondary level, make sure that your school and program of study is on this list of Canadian DLIs.
If you want to stay in Canada after you graduate, make sure to select a DLI that will allow you to qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit.
Becoming an international student in Canada is a two-step process. First, you need to be accepted into a Canadian school, or designated learning institution.
Once you have a letter of acceptance, you can apply for a study permit from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
If you are issued a study permit, it is on the basis of your acceptance into a Canadian school.
However, if you are studying at the post-secondary level, you can change your school, program, field of study, or level of study without needing to apply for a new study permit.
Once you’re accepted into the program you want to transfer into, you just need to notify IRCC if you have changed schools. You can do that online through your MyCIC account.

特别提示
并非所有的指定院校都能获得毕业后工签,只有公立院校、魁省的私立院校或者在私立学院就读学位课程,才能申请毕业后工签或给配偶申请工签。大部分私立院校虽然是指定院校,但并不能申请毕业后工签,也不能给配偶申请开放式工签。
指定院校编号 Designated Learning Institution Number
每一所接受国际学生的高等院校都被分配一个独一的,以字母“O”开头的指定院校编号,需要在申请学习许可时填写在申请表。在以国际学生身份留学加拿大前,需要确保所申请的学校罗列在指定院校名单上。拥有多个校区或附属学院的学校,不同的教学地点可能被分配有不同的指定院校编号。
Every post-secondary school that admits international students has a unique DLI number. The DLI number can be found on the study permit application form. It is the number that begins with the letter “O”. If you want to come to Canada as an international student, first ensure that your school is on the list of Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs). Schools with several campuses or smaller colleges may have a different DLI number for each location.
非指定院校 Non DLI Schools
如果一所学校没有被加拿大省级政府授权为指定院校,则其不具备接受国际学生的资格。以非指定院校的录取信作为申请材料递交学习许可申请,将会被拒签。如果留学生正在就读的学校丧失指定院校资格,其可以选择在原学校就读至学习许可到期,或选择转入其他指定院校。
If a school is not designated by its provincial or territorial authority as a DLI, then it is not eligible to host international students. If you submit a study permit application for a non-DLI school, it will be refused. If the school you are studying at loses its DLI status, you can remain at the school until your study permit expires. Otherwise, you may or transfer to an alternative DLI.
小学和中学 Primary and Secondary Schools
加拿大的所有小学和中学都是指定院校。在大多数省份,加拿大的小学和中学提供自一年级至十二年级的课程。完成十二年级的课程,即可获得高中毕业证。有效工作许可或学习许可持有人的受抚养的未成年子女,无需单独申请学习许可即可在加拿大就学。加拿大私立初高中申请及转学服务
In Canada, all primary and secondary schools are DLIs. In most provinces, these schools offer education from Grade One to Grade Twelve. When a student graduates from secondary school they receive their high school diploma. Dependent minor children do not need a study permit. If you have minor children and are coming to Canada on a work or study permit, they will be eligible to attend school. There is no need to apply for a separate study permit.
如何更改指定院校编号 How to Change a Canadian DLI Number
持有有效学习许可留学加拿大的国际学生,可以根据自己的意愿更改其学历等级、院校和/或学习项目。尽管如此,在进行上述更改后,留学生可能需要通知移民当局、申请新的学习许可,或申请学习许可延期。
If a foreign national is studying in Canada on a valid study permit, they are permitted to change their level of study, institution of study, and/or program of study. However, depending on the intended change, they may have to notify the appropriate immigration authority, apply for a new study permit or get a study permit extension.
更换专业 Changing Programs
国际学生在同一指定院校内更换学习项目,则无需更换其学习许可,也不需要通知移民当局。如果:
- 所持有的学习许可上所罗列的某些条件受到课程变化的影响,国际学生有义务通知移民当局。
- 转入一个比其原有学习许可有效期更长的学习项目,国际学生需要在学习许可到期前申请延期。
If an international student chooses to change programs within the same designated learning institution (DLI), there is no requirement to change their study permit or contact IRCC to update them of the changes. There are, however, a few exceptions to this:
- If the foreign national’s study permit has certain conditions listed on it and if these conditions will be affected by the change in programs, then they must contact IRCC to update them with the changes.
- If the foreign national switches to a program of longer duration than the validity of their study permit, then they will have to apply to extend their study permit before the original expiration date.
更换学校 Changing Schools
国际学生选择转学至同一学历等级的学校,则无需申请新的学习许可,但有必要联系移民当局告知变化。由于非指定院校无权接受国际学生,因此在转学前必要确保即将转入的学校具有指定院校资格。由于魁北克省的移民政策有所不同,因此当转学的目标院校位于魁北克省时,国际学生需要先获批魁省接收函(CAQ)。
If an international student chooses to transfer institutions within the same level of study, then they are not required to obtain a new study permit, but they are required to contact IRCC and notify them of the change in institutions. The student must ensure that the new institution is a designated learning institution (DLI), since non-DLI schools are not eligible to host international students. If a foreign national wishes to transfer from an institution outside of the province of Quebec to an institution inside the province of Quebec, they will have to obtain a certificat d’acceptation du Québec (CAQ) before they can transfer. This is because the province of Quebec has unique requirements for international students.
更换学历等级 Changing Level of Study
根据国际学生更换学历等级情况的不同,他们可能需要申请新的学习许可或通知移民当局:
- 从小学升读中学,无需申请新的学习许可。但又必要联系移民当局告知转入新的学校。值得注意的是,作为有效工作许可或学习许可持有人的未成年子女,就读小学或中学无需申请单独的学习许可。
- 从包括高中在内的中等教育,升读包括大学、学院等在内的专上教育,需要申请新的学习许可。
- 在不同的专上教育学习项目间转换,例如从本科升读硕士,则无需申请新的学习许可。但如果课程的变化将影响学习时间和/或学习许可上罗列的条件,则可能需要申请学习许可延期或告知移民当局。
Depending on the level of study for a foreign national, it may be necessary to obtain a new study permit or to inform IRCC of changes. Below are the common changes between levels of study:
- Changing from primary education to secondary education: It is not necessary to obtain a new study permit. If, in making this change, the student is transferring from one institution to another, they should contact IRCC to update their institution of study. Noted that if a minor child is accompanying a parent or guardian who possesses a valid work or study permit, then the child does not require a study permit at the primary and secondary school levels.
- Changing from secondary education to post-secondary education: It is necessary to obtain a new study permit from IRCC when switching from a secondary to post-secondary level of education.
- Changing from one post-secondary level to another post-secondary level: It is not necessary to obtain a new study permit if switching between different post-secondary levels of education (for example, from a Bachelor’s Degree to a Master’s Degree). However, if the student is changing schools, or if the change in programs will affect the duration of study and/or the conditions listed on the permit, then the student should take the appropriate action as indicated above.
转入魁省院校 Transferring to a School in Quebec
与加拿大其他省份和地区相比,魁省在移民和接受国际学生层面保有更多自治权。因此,要就读魁省指定院校需要额外步骤。在申请加拿大学习许可前,需要先获批魁省接收函(CAQ),只有获批魁省接收函后申请人才能递交学习许可申请。
对魁省接收函的要求也会影响从魁北克省境外转入的国际学生。国际学生需要先获批魁省接收函,在通知加拿大移民当局后无需申请新的学习许可。在魁省内转学的国际学生,如果属于以下情况之一,可能需要获批新的魁省接收函:
- 如果学历等级发生改变,需要申请新的魁省接收函。
- 如果转入的学习项目时长超过魁省接收函的有效期,需要申请新的魁省接收函。
如果转入的学习项目会影响魁省接收函上所罗列的条件,需要联系魁省移民厅并获批新的魁省接收函。
The province of Quebec reserves more control over authorization of international students than Canada’s other provinces and territories. For this reason, there is an extra step involved with obtaining a study permit for an institution in Quebec. Before applying for a study permit, first a foreign national must obtain a certificat d’acceptation du Québec (CAQ). Only after the student has obtained a CAQ can they submit their study permit application.
This CAQ requirement will affect international students wishing to transfer from an institution located outside of Quebec to an institution located inside Quebec. In order to make such a transfer, the student would first have to obtain a CAQ from the Quebec government. Once they have a CAQ, there is usually no need to apply for a new study permit. However, the student should update IRCC with their new information. Foreign nationals wishing to transfer from one Quebec institution to another Quebec institution may need to obtain a new CAQ for studies if they fall under one of the following categories:
- If the student is changing their level of study, they must obtain a new CAQ.
- If a foreign national’s studies extend beyond the expiry date indicated on the CAQ, they must apply for a new CAQ.
If transferring institutions or programs will affect the conditions listed on the CAQ, they must contact the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Diversité et de l’Inclusion (MIDI) and may need to obtain a new CAQ.
