Question about changing DLI before September 2024

Hello everyone,

Long story short.
I came here for high school in 2016.
Then I went to York University.

I graduated from York University in December 2023. I was not able to apply for PGWP since part time student issues.

Then I applied for Centennial College in May 2024 and got my LOA.

Since my study permit is still valid until September 2025 so I didn’t apply for a new study permit after I have my Centennial LOA.

I did transfer my DLI via IRCC system from York Univeristy to Centennial College and started studying my 2 year diploma Automotive Techanican program in September 2024.

Now I’m going to extend my study permit, but I don’t know if it will affect my career and PGWP after my program.

There is no school limited on my study permit, but the field is COMPUTING or IT.

I’m pretty sure Automotive Technician is no longer available for PGWP.

Can anyone tells me what to do next?
Since Canadian government are not allowed students to change their school after November.

I don’t know if it will affect my plans (seems like it will).

Thanks for your time to help.
Appreciate it

If you graduated in December 2023 then study permit expired 90 days after program completion. So when did you notify IRCC that you changed DLI? Also you took off more than 150 days between programs which may have invalidated the orginal study permit. Assume you didn’t work at all during that time. What proof do you have that you still have a permit?

I was trying to apply for the PGWP after my graduation in January 2024 since the official documents from York University was released in January 2024. And IRCC refused my application in the end of April 2024.

Then I applied for Centennial College immediately and have the LOA from Centennial College in May 2024.

I remembered that I update my student status and reported that I transferred to Centennial College on IRCC website back in May or June 2024 (right after me paid school fees and have their documents).

I did have a temporary work permit until July after I applied the PGWP (they usually will give you a temporary one) but I did not work at all after my graduation.

Your study permit expired 90 days after graduation so expired in April 2024. You don’t have a study permit and have not since April 2024. Get a good lawyer because a) you have been studying and possibly working without status and b) can no longer study and renew status.
