Before this, only those students who have a valid study permit as of March 18, 2020 (the day prior to travel restrictions) were allowed to travel to Canada. Now, the Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs) are accepting international students despite the fact that they have received the study permit or not.
Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs) are colleges, universities, and educational institutions approved by the Canadian government to welcome and integrate international students.
