Immigration Information for Campbell College Students

Campbell College is listed as a private Designated Learning Institution in Edmonton:

DLI number: O254363717757

DLI status means Campbell College may enrol eligible international students in designated programs. It does not guarantee approval of a study permit, work authorization, a post-graduation work permit or permanent residence.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada—IRCC—makes all immigration decisions.

Study permits and Provincial Attestation Letters

Most international students require:

• A Letter of Acceptance from a designated learning institution.
• A Provincial Attestation Letter, unless an IRCC exemption applies.
• A valid study permit.
• Any required temporary resident visa or electronic travel authorization.
• Evidence that they meet IRCC’s financial, admissibility and other requirements.

Receiving a Letter of Acceptance or PAL does not guarantee that IRCC will approve a study permit. Review the current IRCC study-permit instructions .

Campbell College does not provide immigration advice

Campbell College employees and admissions representatives provide institutional and program information only. They cannot:

• Recommend an immigration pathway.
• Assess your eligibility for a permit or permanent residence.
• Complete or submit an immigration application on your behalf.
• Predict or guarantee an IRCC decision.
• Interpret immigration law for your individual circumstances.

Students requiring immigration advice should consult IRCC or an authorized immigration representative. Consultant status can be verified through the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants Public Register.

Working while studying

Having a study permit does not automatically authorize a student to work.

Eligible international students may currently work up to 24 hours per week off campus during regular academic sessions and may work additional hours during qualifying scheduled breaks, provided they meet all IRCC requirements and comply with the conditions printed on their study permit.

Students cannot begin working before their program starts. They must stop working if they no longer meet IRCC’s requirements, including during an authorized leave. Review the current IRCC off-campus work requirements.

Campbell College does not guarantee that a student will be legally eligible to work or will obtain employment.

Required student work placements

As of April 1, 2026, eligible post-secondary international students generally do not require a separate co-op work permit for a work placement that is a mandatory part of their program. However, the student, placement and study permit must meet all current IRCC conditions.

Students should review the IRCC student work-placement requirements before beginning any practicum, internship or work placement.

Maintaining immigration status

Students are responsible for:

• Maintaining valid immigration documents.
• Remaining enrolled and actively pursuing their studies.
• Following attendance and academic-progress requirements.
• Complying with all conditions printed on their study permit.
• Applying for extensions or changes before required deadlines.
• Informing Campbell College of changes that affect enrolment or immigration records.

Students changing designated learning institutions may need a new study permit. See the current IRCC requirements for changing schools.
