New Rules and Designated Learning Institution
On June 1, 2014 the new regulation for international students started taking effect, bringing new guidance for the issuance of Study Permits. The new rules come to protect the international reputation of Canada as a provider of a high-quality education system to students from all over the world.

Therefore, there will be no need to include a DLI# when applying for programs at those schools. As an accredited and certified secondary school, students do not need to include a DLI# when applying for programs at Pattison School.
