DLI stands for Designated learning institutions which stands for all the schools that admit international students. A letter of acceptance from a DLI is required to obtain a Canadian study permit. Primary and secondary schools located in Canada are the DLIs.  Post-secondary schools have to receive permission from the provincial government to accept international students. It consists of steps:

 International students need to be admitted to a designated learning institution or any Canadian school from where they can apply for a study permit from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Students pursuing post-secondary levels can transfer their school, program, study field, and level of study without applying for a new permit.

 Every international student gets a unique DLI number which begins with the letter “O,” which is present on the study permit application form.

Visa Reapplication

If the application to come to Canada is denied by the authorities, international students can apply again whenever, except if their decision letter says they can’t. It would be ideal for them to possibly apply once more on the off chance that they can incorporate data that they did include previously.

On the off chance that they had legitimate status and lost it, they have limited time to re-apply. See their decision letter for subtleties.
