You would need a new study permit. Your study permit is tied to the DLI/program you first applied for. And you cannot change DLIs without first studying at the school on your permit.

Yes, see this link:

If you change schools and don’t tell us
Your old school will report you as not being registered to study. If this happens:

  • you’re breaking the conditions of your study permit
  • you may be asked to leave the country
  • this may prevent you from coming to Canada in the future
    • For example, you may not be approved for another study or work permit in the future.
Changing your DLI if you’re outside Canada
If your application is still in progress
You can tell us you changed your DLI by submitting a new letter of acceptance using the IRCC web form.

If your application has been approved
If your application for a study permit has been approved and you change your DLI, you must submit a new study permit application with a new letter of acceptance. You must also pay all the fees for the new application.

You need to apply for a new study permit if you change DLI before coming to Canada.

The link is above and clearly states you need a new study permit. Note sure where you read online that you can change because it is not on the IRCC site. You can try and enter, and maybe you will get lucky or maybe you will be sent home.

If your application has been approved
If your application for a study permit has been approved and you change your DLI, you must submit a new study permit application with a new letter of acceptance. You must also pay all the fees for the new application.
