CHANGING OF DLI AFTER ARRIVING IN CANADA WITHOUT ENROLLING IN YOUR OLD SCHOOL

[Kezee]

Please, I need information on people that fall into this category. Were you able to extend your study permit when you switched from an undergraduate program to a two-year college program without enrolling in your course even after asking your old school to defer to the next semester?

You need a new study permit, if you never studied in the program you were accepted.You can only change if you have studied in your first program for a semester or year. Are you in Canada now?

It's not longer possible to do this. IRCC has changed the rules.

If you want to change to a different DLI without attending your original DLI first, you need to apply for a new study permit.

Thank you so much for your response, for someone that has already went ahead with the change after he got to Canada, he has to apply for a new study permit right?

Yes. And you need to get a new study permit BEFORE you start studying at your new school. Otherwise you'll be studying without authorization.

I’m already in Canada and my current study permit expires in April, I was planning on extending in March.

my first study permit was for U of Manitoba but starting with a 8 months course in the international college of Manitoba(hope you understand what I mean)

my problem now is I already went ahead with the DLI change and classes starts in January in my new DLI ( it does not exceed the 150 days authorized leave) should I apply for a new study permit now or wait a month before my current study permit expires?

You cannot study at a different school unless you get a new study permit.

If you want to start attending your new DLI in January, apply for a new study permit NOW.

I don't know the chances of getting a new SP. You'll have to apply and see what happens. I would strongly recommend you apply as soon as possible. You don't have that much time.

You were told about this back in early September so the fact you need a new SP shouldn't be coming as a surprise now.

While applying, should I go for the extending process and submit my new LOA knowing I still have a valid study permit?

No. You need to apply for a new study permit - not a extension.

But if I put that am already in Canada during filling the form, it automatically shows extending visa
