About Designated Learning Institutions
In Canada, educational institutions that can host international students are known as Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs). To study in Nova Scotia, you must first obtain an acceptance letter from a DLI. The acceptance letter is an essential part of obtaining a Canadian study permit.
Below is the list of all the Designated Learning Institutions in Nova Scotia to which you can apply. Studying at a DLI that qualifies for PGWP is also a mandatory requirement to obtain a Post Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) after graduation.
