You need a new study permit if you have changed DLI and never attended the school on your permit. Are you going to attend the school on your study permit?

You need a new study permit if you change DLI. The consequences are that you will not be issued a study permit when you enter Canada If you don’t apply for a new one.

FROM IRCC

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.

If you want to attend the new school, then you need to apply for a new study permit.

It's your choice if you switch schools or not.

Depends where you live but expect at least 8 weeks, not including stamping. Is your medical still valid? Are you going to a public DLI? When were you planning on coming to Canada?

You would need a new LOA.

Which school are you planning on going to? You cannot change DLIs in Canada without attending the school on your permit.

If you are not changing DLI then ask the school for a new LOA. If the program doesn’t start until May, CBSA may not let you enter early.

I think am getting all this wrong I check the letter sent to me on my ircc profile it says letter of introduction is that the same study permit which I will present to the immigration officer?

No. Your LOI is not a study permit. A study permit is issued when you enter Canada based on your updated LOA from the school on your study permit. If you enter too early before your start date, CBSA can deny you entry too. If you are entering December 15, assume school starts in January.
