Letter of Acceptance (LOA) Policy

Designated Learning Institutions

A Designated Learning Institution (DLI) is a school approved by a provincial or territorial government to host international students. Canadian Career Education College (CCEC) is a DLI: DLI # O262228554872.

Proving Your Acceptance

• You must include your letter of acceptance from a DLI when you apply for a study permit. Digital copies sent by email are acceptable.
• Without a valid and authentic LOA from a DLI, you cannot apply for a study permit. See IRCC guidance on letters of acceptance.

Conditions in Your Acceptance Letter

Read your letter closely. If you must finish a prerequisite, such as a course or program, before admission, the College issues a conditional letter of acceptance, which you submit when you apply to enter Canada. Your study permit then covers the length of the prerequisite plus one year. Once you meet the conditions, you must apply for a new study permit and show that you have met all admission requirements. If you do not meet the conditions, your offer of admission may be revoked.

CCEC LOA Policy (V.128-2025)

This policy is effective January 28, 2025, and applies to all applicants until further notice. Your Letter of Acceptance will state one of the following:

Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL)

Where a PAL applies and is approved, the College processes the PAL on your behalf. This may take 15 to 30 business days. If the College cannot issue a PAL, it will consider a refund of fees for eligible students who applied for admission after January 22, 2024. See Provincial Attestation Letter.

LOA Deferrals and Extensions

If you need to change your start date or defer to another session, for example because of a delay in the visa or permit process, your request depends on seat availability at that time. The College may not be able to offer a seat in your chosen program and session. Read the Deferral Policy.
