About this data
Definitions and methodology
Important terms and notes for interpreting the published study permit data.
Definitions
Study permit
Authorization that allows a foreign national to study in Canada.
This Explorer primarily reports study permit holders based on the year in which permits became effective. This is not the same as the total number of international students physically present in Canada at a given time.
Designated Learning Institution
An institution approved to host international students.
A Designated Learning Institution, or DLI, is an institution approved by a provincial or territorial government to host international students.
Study level
IRCC's broad classification of the level of study.
The available study-level categories are broader than specific academic disciplines. They do not represent programs such as Nursing, Computer Science, or Business.
Institution type
IRCC's classification of the type of learning institution.
Published institution types include categories such as University, College, Career College, Language School, Flight School, Theological School, and Other.
Public / private status
IRCC's published administration classification for a DLI.
Institutions may be classified as Public Institution, Private Institution, or Not Stated in the source data.
Country of citizenship
The country of citizenship reported for the study permit holder.
Country values are preserved from the official IRCC source data.
Methodology notes
Suppressed values
Some IRCC values are suppressed in the source data. Suppressed values are treated as unknown and are not interpreted as zero. Published totals therefore represent the sum of available numeric values only.
Partial-year data
The most recent year may contain only part of the calendar year. Partial years are identified as year-to-date and should not be compared directly with completed years without considering the difference in coverage.
Annual totals
Annual totals displayed by this Explorer are calculated by summing the published monthly values for the selected year and compatible dimensions.
Dataset compatibility
Not every search dimension is published together in the same IRCC dataset. The Explorer uses only combinations supported by the underlying source data and does not infer relationships between incompatible datasets.
Institution and citizenship data
Country of citizenship is not published together with individual institution names in the datasets used by this Explorer. Citizenship analysis can therefore be combined with province and institution type, but not with a specific institution.
Study level
Study level is available as a broad classification and is not published together with individual institution data in the datasets used by this Explorer.
Institution names
Institution names are preserved from the official IRCC source. Some entries may identify campuses, partner locations, or institution names that differ from commonly used public names.
Interpretation
The Explorer presents published administrative data and does not classify institutions, determine intent, or make conclusions about fraud, educational quality, or compliance. Users should interpret the data together with appropriate policy and institutional context.
