Good day,
Thank you for contacting the Immigration Representatives Mailbox
Please note that this mailbox is intended for general guidance and does not provide responses to case-specific inquiries but
have provided the following information as guidance.. If you have case specific questions about a file, you are encouraged to
submit the |RCC Web form.
Please see our response to your question:
A student who has changed DLIs before November 8, 2024 can keep studying with their current study permit as long as they
still comply with their study permit conditions. There are no consequences to students who haven't informed IRCC of their
DUI changes in their online account prior to November 8, 2024 as there were no regulations in effect. Certain students may or
may not appear in the DLI’s compliance report. If that is the case, the institution may contact the DUI inbox at [requester]-
[IRCC institutional email].
Ifa student wishes to apply for a study permit extension because they wish to update the DLi, they will need to provide all
the required documents listed on the IRCC website. Extend your study permit or restore your status: How to apply - Canada.ca
if a student changes DUis again, they will need to get a new study permit by applying to extend their current one and will
need to provide all the required documents listed on the IRCC website. Extend your study permit or restore your status: How
toapply - Canada.ca
Thank you kindly,

Good Day,
seeking clarification on a situation where a student with a valid study permit was enrolled in a program at a new Designated
Learning Institution (DUI) in August 2024. However, the DLI was not updated at the time, and now the option to update it
through the online account is no longer available.
Given this scenario, would appreciate guidance on the following: :
1. 1, Would applying for a study permit extension be a possible way to update the DLI in such a case?
2. 2. If the student is already actively studying in the program, is a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) required for the
extension application?
3. 3. IF PALis not required, what documents should be provided to clarify the situation?
4, 4, Are there any potential compliance issues due to the delay in updating the DLI, and what steps should be taken to
address them?
Your guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
