On February 29, 2024, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) provided more precise guidance concerning Study Permits and Letters of Acceptance. Starting from January 30, 2024, all post-secondary Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs) must verify the Letter of Acceptance or Letter of Enrolment submitted in post-secondary study permit applications within Canada. However, certain secondary-level vocational training programs from Quebec are exceptions and do not necessitate LOA verification: Diploma of Vocational Studies (DVS), Attestation of Vocational Specialization (AVS), PreWork Training Certificate (PTC), and Training Certificate for a Semiskilled Trade (TCST).
