Lol you cant narrow it down to less than 16 choices? They are all over the place, at least decide what city you want to live in. Get rid of all the private schools as a start.

You're right, I'm gonna refine it further.

The only private colleges in the list are from quebec i believe. I put them in because i thought it works differently in quebec where even the private colleges are accepted in the DLI list. Am i wrong? or did i miss something?
Is it always better to go for public colleges irrespective of the location?

To check if an institute is a DLI, please refer to this list:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/prepare/designated-learning-institutions-list.html

If you have a preference for a province or city, you may choose a top institute from that location based on their national rank and user reviews.
If you are flexible with the location, then there's NAIT, SAIT and BCIT.. These provide good courses on software/computing but not sure about data science/AI. Good luck!

Hey thank you for those suggestions. I've been looking at the programs they offer for quite a while and am unable to find any post graduate courses. Do you know if they offer them? Would you be kind enough to link them please?

Never go to private college unless you have no choice somehow, even in Quebec where they qualify for pgwp.

Thank you for the warning. It'd be a little easier for me to understand and accept this if you could please elaborate a little as to why it's not advisable? I'd really appreciate if you could take the time. Thanks

Make sure the DLI is eligiblie for PGWP.

Many schools on the DLI list aren't eligible for PGWP.

Thank you, i did actually check most if not all of these. Could you point out if i missed any? Or is this a general suggestion? Which is also appreciated.

One thing that i had trouble with was finding out whether a college that has multiple branches in different cities comes under one category in the DLI list? Or whether it will be listed separately with the other address?
