Instructions have been added to inform officers that curriculum licensing agreement (CLA) programs have now been issued an additional designated learning institution (DLI) number to indicate enrollment in a CLA. As of May 15, 2024, CLA programs are no longer eligible for a post-graduation work permit (PGWP).
Officers are instructed to review the DLI and program list to ensure applicants are eligible for the PGWP and to request additional documentation if required from the applicant.
