Canada has updated its list of approved Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs) that are currently permitted to welcome international students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A DLI is a school, university or college that is allowed to host international students. Canada had previously introduced travel restrictions on non-essential travel to curb the spread of COVID-19.
Travel restrictions had first included new international students. Only those who have a study permit or an approval issued on or before March 18 were allowed to travel to Canada. However, Canada has recently begun to ease restrictions to allow more international students to pursue their education in the country.
Many prominent Ontario-based institutions have been added, such as the University of Waterloo, Ryerson University, OCAD University and the University of Windsor.
All individuals entering Canada, including international students, are required by law to quarantine themselves for 14 days upon arrival. This means that you should stay inside at all times. Failure to do so may result in hefty fines.
