DLI Changes | I am an international student | Seneca Students

As of Nov. 8, 2024, international students must study at the DLI named on their study permit. If you wish to change DLI you must apply and receive approval for a new study permit using the LOA and PAL of the new institution.  If you are inside of Canada, you will submit this application as a study permit extension.  This policy also applies to international students enrolled in Seneca's ASU or LAT programs who will transfer into a partner institution.

We strongly advise students changing DLI to apply early for their new permit - before leaving the original institution.  The new study permit must be approved before you may begin classes at the new DLI unless:

• you are transitioning from secondary (high-school) to post-secondary level and submitted a study permit extension application prior to the expiry of your existing permit; or
• your previous DLI closed, was suspended, lost its DLI status, or discontinued your program
