Access the Designated Learning Institution Portal
The Designated Learning Institution (DLI) Portal is for post-secondary educational institutions that need to report on the enrolment status of their international students.
All post-secondary DLIs, except for those in Quebec, must use the DLI portal to complete their reports. Reports must be submitted twice a year, in April and November. We’ll email the primary contact at each post-secondary DLI when it’s time to complete and submit a report.
Read the following guides before using the DLI portal:
- DLI portal enrolment guide – how to create an account in the portal
- DLI portal compliance reporting guide – how to complete a compliance report, including academic and enrolment status definitions
