Question regarding change of collège after getting your study permit

[celinekaluila]

Hi everyone
I got a quick question
I was accepted into a university in Canada to start in September after getting my study visa in April , the school informed me that they were not available place anymore in the program I applied for ( I had a previous arrangement with them that I would pay half of my semester and pay the other half after getting my visa )
So I applied to another college in which I got accepted and I paid the full semester to start in September
So my question is should I inform IRCC of that change ? But on my study visa it doesn’t specify in which school I’m going , it’s just written study visa

Thank you

Rules changed, you have to apply for a new study permit if you change your dli and is outside Canada. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/change-schools.html

New DLI, new study permit application - unless you start actively studying at your current dli INSIDE Canada, in which case you can switch. No one can tell how long is acceptable, but general consensus is 1 semester.

You are planning to change from a university to college?
