PLEASE NOTE: If you have already successfully submitted your spring 2025 compliance report to IRCC, please disregard the following message.
Dear Designated Learning Institutions,
This is a reminder that the spring compliance reporting period has started. You have until April 30th, 2025, to complete your report, but we recommend completing it no later than April 29th, 2025. You can access your spring compliance report in your DLI Portal account.
Please note that on November 8, 2024, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) implemented regulatory amendments to strengthen the integrity of the International Student Program (ISP). As a result, compliance reporting is now mandatory, as per subsection 222.1(1)(b) of Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR), with consequences for non-compliance.
All the information you need to complete your report can be found on our website. You will only receive a report if international students are currently attending your institution.

If you fail to do so your compliance report will not be received by IRCC. Please see step 8 in the DLI Portal: Compliance Reporting Guide for more information.

If you require assistance in choosing the correct status, please contact the DLI mailbox.
For your convenience, we have included the statuses and definitions below.
Any leave from a program of studies in Canada should not exceed 150 consecutive days from the date the leave started. If a student exceeds 150 days of leave from studies, they will need to change their status with IRCC or will be considered non-compliant with their study permit conditions.
