SOURCE-BACKED ANSWER

How do I complete Provincial or territorial attestation letter (PAL/TAL)?

Determine whether the study-permit application needs a PAL, TAL, Québec CAQ or exemption, then obtain and validate the exact record before federal filing. Start with the reviewed official source, follow the current actions and submit through your own government account.

Practical order

1. 1

   Use the current IRCC categories to decide whether this study-permit request needs a PAL/TAL, needs a Québec CAQ instead, or falls under a listed exemption.

2. 2

   Ask the designated learning institution how its province or territory issues the attestation and what school deposit or admission step must occur first.

3. 3

   Provide only the identity, offer, program and intake details requested by the school or issuing authority and retain the transmission record.

4. 4

   When the PAL/TAL is issued, compare the applicant, institution, program, province or territory, issue date and validity information with the planned application.

5. 5

   Upload the valid PAL/TAL, Québec CAQ or the exact exemption evidence in the location required by the current study-permit checklist.

6. 6

   If the institution, program, province, intake or submission timing changes, use the current official rules and school instructions to determine whether a new attestation is needed.
