Switching study permit

[sababx]

Hi

I am asking this on behalf of a friend. She came to Kamloops BC to study in Thompson Rivers University last week. But she wants to switch to Simon Fraser Uni right away. What is the process to change uni and what effect would it have on her study permit? Like what are the procedures? Can anyone tell me please?

Thanks

1. She follows the instructions here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/study-changes.asp

Changing institution at the post-secondary level
If you applied for a study permit to attend a post-secondary institution after June 1, 2014, you must notify Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) via your account every time you change institutions. You are not required to apply for a new study permit when changing institutions that are at the same level of study (e.g., from a college to a university).

For example, you must notify CIC if you submit a letter of acceptance from the University of Ottawa when you apply for your study permit but then transfer to Carleton University once you arrive in Canada.

You are not required to notify CIC when you change institution if:

• you applied for a study permit prior to June 1, 2014;
• you were issued a study permit to attend an institution at the primary or secondary level; or
• you obtained a study permit as the family member of a study or work permit holder (i.e., you were not required to submit a letter of acceptance when applying for a study permit).
