Educational Institutions

Prevent fraud and protect your institution’s reputation

Providing government with the means to quickly and confidently confirm the authenticity and validity of Letters of Acceptance issued by your institution through the System ensures that only bona fide international students are permitted entry into Canada. Not only will falsified LOAs fail verification, revoked LOAs will also fail. Only students with current and valid LOAs from your institution will pass verification.

Improve student experience

Instant LOA verification by government also translates into faster visa application processing and shorter port of entry wait times for your students, ensuring a smooth start to their education journey and helping to safeguard Canada's reputation as a welcoming study destination.

Protect your student's privacy

Your institution remains the sole owner of the data used to generate, issue, and verify Letters of Acceptance through the Canadian LOA Verification System, ensuring student's personal information cannot be used or sold by a third party

Save time and reduce costs

Continue using your institution's existing LOA template and save time and money through automation and eliminating the need to respond to inquiries from visa and port of entry officials related to LOA verification.

Gain actionable insights

Use reporting on your institution's LOA statistics to benchmark against the Canadian standard based on aggregate, non-identifiable data generated through System usage.

Support your sector

The Canadian LOA Verification System is an initiative led by Canada's education sector for the benefit of Canada and Canadians, with a deep commitment to data integrity, privacy protection, and student satisfaction.
