DLI Change for approved study permit

[architgarg]

Hi folks, I just got the PPR yesterday, will it be possible to change my university for the same course (Masters Computer Science) that too in the same province?

or do I need to create another study permit application?

I applied to a couple of uni and am hopeful to get admitted to at least any of them

Thanks in advance!

No. You cannot change universities without ever studying at that school. If you get admission to another school before coming to Canada, you need a new study permit. Or you come to Canada, and study a semester at the school on your permit and then change schools.

Got it, thanks @Naturgrl

You're right as per what the official website says, I wonder why the client support centre would say it is possible

Client support agents are not IRCC officers but call centre agents. Unfortunately they give out incorrect information all the time.

Yeah, that's true, I do find out that most of them lack even subtle information.

They are not well paid jobs with a lot of turnover so many are not employed long enough to gain a lot of information. There can also be language barriers making communication or understanding a situation difficult and the agents take quite a lot of abuse on the phone which is why many do not stay longterm.

True, not an easy job for sure
