Change your post-secondary school in your account

You need to let us know any time you change your post-secondary school. To do this, you’ll need:

  • an online account
  • your study permit number
    • It begins with the letter “S” and is at the top right of the permit.
    • For security reasons, we may ask you to provide a few details from your application, so have it handy.
  • your new school’s designated learning institution (DLI) number
  • your new Student Identification Number (Student ID)
    • You can find it on the acceptance letter your new school sent to you.
  • your start date at your new school.

You don’t need a representative to change your DLI, even if you used one to apply for your study permit. You can do this yourself if you have your study permit application details.
