As of Nov 8, 2024, international students must be enrolled at the Designated Learning Institution (DLI) named on their study permit. If you change institutions, you must apply for a study permit extension using the Letter of Acceptance and PAL issued by the new DLI and receive approval from IRCC prior to starting your studies at the new DLI. For more information, please refer to the IRCC website.
Do I need a PAL when changing DLI?
As of Jan 22, 2025, students changing institutions (ex., from a secondary school to KPU, or from another post-secondary institution to KPU) or levels of study at the same institution (ex., changing from an undergraduate program to graduate) require a Provincial Attestation Letter for their study permit application.
