The expert, Oludayo Sokunbi, said attending a Canadian school without a DLI number could mean the student won't get a post-graduate work permit after studies.
Sokunbi wrote on X:
"Before you apply to any school in Canada, make sure the school has a DLI number and offers PGWP (Post Graduate Work Permit). Otherwise, you may not be able to get a job that will qualify you for permanent residency."
The importance of DLI number for a Canadian school
In a separate chat with Legit.ng, Sokunbi, a relocation expert at Japa Consult, restated the importance of the DLI and the consequences of attending a school in Canada without it.
His words:
"No work after schooling as the school is just not affiliated with the government."
On his part, Dr Olumuyiwa Igbalajobi, a scholarship expert in Canada, said it is true that attending a school without a DLI means no work permit after studies.
He said:
"You have to go back home after your study. No postgraduate work permit"
List of Canadian schools and their DLI numbers
The website of the Canadian Government provides a list of Canadian schools with their DLI numbers.
The website states that not all DLIs and not all courses qualify students for a post-graduate work permit in Canada after their studies.
