Changing major from a postgraduate program to an advance diploma

[HoomanA]

Hello everyone,

Hope everyone doing well.
I have accepted at GeorgeBrown college for a postgraduate program which is called BIM; however I don't like the major and I want to switch it to the Interior Design Technology program which is a advance diploma. right now I have got my study permit based on the postgraduate program, but I don't know if there is any restriction regarding changing it to an advance diploma? Am I still eligible for study permit, as I already have a bachelors and changing my program to advance diploma will be consider as a downgrade and therefor the IRCC will not change my study permit and I have to leave the Canada?

I would truly appreciate it if somebody can shed some light on this matter.

Thank you all in advance.

Have you started the BIM program? How long have you studied?

No, I have not started the program yet. I got a conditional offer from George Brown which basically I have first pass the ESL classes then I am eligible for my major program.
The duration os program is 3 semesters.

So how did you come to the conclusion that you don't like it if you haven't started it?

IRCC allows you to change program within the same DLI without having to re-apply for your SP, but seeing as you are opting for a lower level program now, no one knows what the repercussions of that will be when it comes time to extend your SP or apply for PGWP.
