Hi Guys,

I'm applying online for a study permit, let's say I get my request for a study permit and visa passed. The college says I must be there by Sep 3rd but if for some personal matter I want to defer a semester.
Do I need to do anything besides being in touch with my college? Do I need to inform the embassy about that? Isn't a problem If I go to Canada 4-6 months after they stamp my passport/accept my request?

- The second question is, I fill the forms and validated them but I found some error and edit them. if I validate the form for the second or 3rd time, will be Ok? or I should download the form again and validate only once?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi!

For the first question I do not have an answer. However for the second one I think I do.
As long as you have not submitted your application, you can edit and re-validate your forms and upload them again. However if you have submitted your application, then you will need to inform IRCC of the changes, and no you can't edit the form anymore.

thank you,
No, I haven't submitted my application, I was worried because I read on a website that it can be validated once and if I want to edit it again I have to refill the form I have to download forms again and do it from the beginning.

To your first answer, you will need to contact your college and get a new offer letter with the new start date. If you haven't submitted your application then you don't need to do anything else. Just change the details in the application form to match the new start date and upload the new offer letter that you got from your college.

Your second question I think was answered,. Just to add a point, never follow outside websites, if you don't see it on CIC website then it's not true.
