Does anyone know if their DLI will be on the list?

I fear that due to politics, DLIs in hotspots will be forced to stay shut like Toronto and Montreal. To be honest, I will be surprised if DLIs in these places are allowed to open given the restrictions that the premiers have been putting specifically on these regions in the past. DLIs may include:
McGill
University of Montreal
University of Toronto
York University
All Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa Colleges
University of Ottawa
Carleton University
University of WIndsor
Ryerson
I just heard from my university (HEC Montreal) that all hybrid courses will be switched to distance learning :( Does this mean I won't be able to travel for jan 21 intake? Or I would because travel announcements are federal and not provincial. So, it shouldn't be affected by provincial issues? @jigzyy

Let me see if I can find the link but on IRCC website it was written that timezone issues can be seen as a reason for travelling. I think if HEC montreal has a DLI plan u may be able travel still

timezone issues have ALWAYS been a problem for international students especially Indians. I'm afraid they'll let only those students travel whose university/college has been approved and their course is either in person or at least hybrid. Because lifting the travel ban would create an influx of international students who're having online classes

If you have valid study permit and your university is approved as DLI with covid ready, then you are good to go after October 20.

I don't know why people always bring up 23 billion dollar student industry. I hate to tell you that this is fraction of what Canada's GDP depends on. It definitely brings money but not the MAJOR economy funder and for that reason, it's not a priority.
LOL buddy! Did you just say that immigration just accounts for a fraction of Canada's GDP? In that case, you need to expand the horizons of your knowledge. I would recommend reading this first https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/infographics/immigration-economic-growth.html

No one knows, wait for the DLI covid ready list.

I hope you're not an adult that starts a comment with 'LOL Buddy' if you want to be taken seriously. And it's quite clear, he is talking about intl. students, not immigration as a whole which you seem to reference

Well, we generally use words like "buddy" to have a light conversation. So that it doesn't seem like I am attacking someone. I am sorry if it hurts your sentiments. Anyways, international students are a major part of immigration since they are the ones who actually pay tuition (not neglecting the contributions of other immigrants).

That is simply not correct even now. You can enter Canada now if you have a valid approval of study permit before 18 March or a valid approval of study permit if entering via USA. In addition, you simply need to prove your studies and presence are "essential" and that can mean online studies.

Lifting the travel ban currently is going to make little difference on its own. This is because almost no-one has received approval of study permit and that is necessary too for travel.

Anyone with a valid study permit who can prove their presence is "essential" can already travel. We do not yet have the finer details of any change in rules such as dropping of the 18th March rule.
