The IRCC has granted a temporary exemption to international students transferring between DLIs, at risk of losing their places due to the timing of previous regulations.In an email sent to Canadian institutions on December 10, the IRCC clarified that students transferring institutions in January or May 2025 “may start attending the new designated learning institution (DLI) they were intending to transfer to while their study permit is being processed”.  


The temporary exemption addresses timing concerns created by the IRCC’s changes to the international student program on November 8, 2024, mandating that students transferring between institutions must apply for a new study permit extension and must only begin studying at the new DLI after its approval.
