Thank you kindly, [requester] De: [requester] Envoyé: [requester] A: Immigration Representatives / Représentants immigration (IRCC) <[requester email]> Objet: [requester] Good afternoon, My name is [requester] provide clarification as to whether a PAL is required. We have a student who is currently studying in a Business Administration Post Graduate Diploma Program; admission requires completion of an accredited Bachelor's degree with a minimum 3 academic years from a recognized institution. For September 2025, the student is changing to Health Care Certificate which is a undergraduate vocational program. As per the IRCC website https:/Awww.canada.ca/ervimmigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study- canada/study-pemmit/get-documents/provincial-attestation-letter html, a PAL is not required if. * You've entered Canada and one of the following situations applies to you: © You're applying for a study permit extension at the same DLI and level of study as your current study permit. My understanding is that IRCC recognizes the following levels of study — primary and secondary education , post- secondary education (including vocational, technical and undergraduate) and graduate education or above. Can you please confirm if IRCC considers Post Graduate Diplomas and Certificates as undergraduate or graduate? ff undergraduate, then in this case the student moving from a post graduate diploma to a vocational certificate would NOT require a [requester] forward to receiving confirmation. Kind regards, 000553
