Hi everyone, I am in need of clarification:
I have studying at Fanshawe from September 5, I am full-time student, my course and schedule is tough, want to drop it and change it to different college. Not sure about being active student, that had been depicted in the IRCC rules (but I have paid tuition fee, participating at lessons).
Please, can u share your thoughts, It will be really helpful for me.
Hi Mitya,
I would recommend you to call ircc. Explain your situation and they are very helpful in explaining all your questions.
Personally I had some queries regarding changing DLI and called them a week ago.
As per he explained me, yes you can change your college, that is your legal right.
As per I know, if you want to change your college once you have landed in Canada you can do it legally. Here what i asked him and below is what he explained me.
1. You have landed in Canada and for some reasons you want to change your college before starting your 1st semester. Yes you can change your college if your received LOA of different college once you have landed in canada and have valid SP. Just update your DLI, no need to reapply your Study permit.
2. You have started your 1st semester, now you want to change your college. Again you can apply for offer letter of different college. Once you have LOA of different college you can update your DLI on cic website, no need to reapply Study permit. Make sure you don’t work until your new college starts. They give you 150 days to change your college from the start date of your initial college.
There will be no bad impact on your PGWP after changing DLI.
When I did my research, some people were saying no you can not change your college some were saying yes you can. The best thing is calling cic and asking and clarifying your doubts. They are very helpful.
I hope it helps.
