In Canada, there are different types of post-secondary schools. Some schools are "recognized" which means that they can grant degrees, diplomas, certificates or other qualifications. Governments of Canada have processes in place to ensure that these institutions and the programs they offer meet their standards. Other institutions do not go through government quality control and are not officially recognized.
Specially, for a foreign national, to apply for a study permit on or after June 1, 2014, he/she will need a letter of acceptance from a Designated Learning Institution(DLI) for schools at post-secondary level. Also, depend on the DLI(or curriculum), the international students may have off/on campus work permit during their study as well as post graduated work permit(up to 3years) after their study in Canada.
