4. client section?
I submitted:

1. Required docs like Passport bio page, e-medical sheet for upfront etc
2. A new SOP (just a 1-pager saying why I was changing DLI. Not as comprehensive as the first one).
3. new LOA
4. updated financial documents (just got new ones from bank).
5. In the client section, I uploaded the LOI letter than was issued to me for my first application and a copy of my counterfoil.

I didn't re-submit employment letter, transcripts, degrees etc.

PS: My previous counterfoil is now invalid. The counterfoil for all my dependents that are under my account are still valid.

great. do you think i can change my course completely?

Actually i have valid visit visa until 2024. So first time they never sent to me PPR.they only sent to me introduction letter or port of entry .so if i apply this time do they simply invalidate my visitor visa ?

I can't tell how changing your course completely might affect your new application.
I don't think they will invalidate your visa if it was not issued against your current study permit (S-1 visa). Good luck!

I am not sure how that will work. For what it's worth:

In my case, even though I reapplied for my SP, I didn't have to reapply for my kids who got their study permits together with me (IRCC told me there's no need since they weren't changing DLI).

I applied for my husband's SOWP on the 11th of May and I applied for my new SP on the 23rd of May, so as you can see, my husband's application was against my previous SP. In my new application, I didn't mention anything about my husband's SOWP being in process etc. I didn't refer to it at all.

His SOWP was approved on the 25th of June and his dates matched my previous permit's. My new SP was approved on the 9th of July - I still don't know the validity yet as I am only sending my passports for stampling today.

You can change your program within the same DLI but you can't change your DLI unless you are actively studying
