What is PAL?

As imposed by IRCC's new immigration rule, PAL or Provincial Attestation Letters are needed to apply for study permits in Canada. PAL or Provincial Attestation Letters is a method by which provinces verify the foreign student’s acceptance into Canadian institutions. Previously, to get a study permit, students only had to show LOA, but now it is necessary to attest to PAL to acquire a study Permit in Canada.

Pal is only required for:

  • Post-secondary study permit applicants
  • Non-degree granting graduate programs

Requirements to receive a PAL in Alberta:

IRCC began issuing PAL in Alberta on March 1st, 2024. The post-secondary institution will accept PALs of international students whom the institution receives.

 

To get a PAL through a DLI, international students have to give the specific DLI assurance that you want to study with them.

 

To present the proof, look for specific pages in DLI that show the students should pay an additional deposit for their admission to qualify for DLI request from the Albertan government for PAL.

 

Most Universities in Alberta will email the candidate stating that the PAL is ready to download for their final study permit.
