ISP Designation process

A Postsecondary Institution, whether or not it is designated at the time of its application, is eligible to receive an offer for Designation only if:

1. it submits a complete Application for Designation
   and
2. Ontario is satisfied it meets the requirements for Designation that are set out in this document

A Postsecondary Institution that meets these conditions (a successful applicant) will be required to enter into an agreement with Ontario as represented by the Minister of Colleges and Universities (a Designation Agreement) before it will be designated or re-designated. Successful applicants will become designated on the date that the Designation Agreement is fully executed by the successful applicant and Ontario.

Each successful applicant's Designation Agreement will specify the date on which the Designation Agreement expires. An institution ceases to be designated on the date the Designation Agreement expires.

Designation of an institution is site-specific. Each Campus and Branch Location that the institution wishes to be included in its Designation must be specified in the institution's Application for Designation. If an institution is designated for ISP purposes, its Designation applies only to those Campuses and Branch Locations that are specified in the institution's Designation Agreement.

If at a later date a designated institution wishes to add an additional Campus or Branch location, the institution may apply for an amendment to its Designation Agreement to add the additional location. The institution will be required to provide evidence of compliance with the ISP Requirements with respect to the additional Campus or Branch Location.

Only institutions that are designated for the purposes of the ISP are eligible to receive international students requiring a study permit to attend a program of study that is six months in duration or longer.

Re-designation application

If an institution submits a new complete Application for Designation on or before the expiry of its current Designation Agreement, the institution will remain designated pending the decision on its application (a Continuing Designation). Institutions with Continuing Designations will be required to continue to meet the requirements of their current Designation Agreements.

If an institution's current Designation Agreement expires before it submits a complete Application for Designation, or if an institution's Application for Designation is unsuccessful, the institution will cease to be designated for the purposes of the ISP and Ontario will notify Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada that the institution should be removed from the list of Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs).

Requests for reconsideration

An institution whose Application for Designation is unsuccessful may request a reconsideration of the decision by submitting a request in writing within 30 days of receiving notice of an unsuccessful application. A request for reconsideration must set out the reasons for the request and must be accompanied by such supporting documents which the applicant considers relevant to the request.

A request will be considered only if it raises new information or explanations that are relevant to the ISP Requirements.
