Training Programs - Federal International Student Program - Implementing Federal Minister Instructions for Provincial Attestation Letter

The federal government, through its International Student Program (ISP) under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and its regulation from the Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Yukon Government Department of Education. The purpose of the program is to facilitate entry of international students for the primary purpose of studying in Canada. The MOU acknowledges that information sharing between the federal and territorial government is required to administer the program. In addition, this PIA addresses the privacy considerations for using a Yukon Government SharePoint Collab Site with role-based limited permissions for Designated Learning Institution (DLI) external parties to request and for Education to issue the Provincial Attestation Letters (PALs) that contain personal information of foreign national applicants intending to study at a Yukon DLI.
