Change of school, program & duration of program

[abjiskumar]

I am currently moving from a university to another university within the same province. Its a totally new program in a different field and I have the letter of acceptance from the new university. Meanwhile I am completing my semester at the current university. I have read the process to notify cic if I am changing schools. However the new program would also require me to extend my study permit by 6 months. So the question is :-

Should I first notify CIC that I am changing schools and then apply for an extension of the study permit OR
Should I first apply to extend my study permit and then notify CIC that I am changing schools
OR
Do it both simultaneously

This is a time senstive issue as I need to do it immediately. My new program starts in January.

Thank you!

What I did, after getting new LOA, was changed my DLI online.
And then, applied for extension.

Thanks a lot @captainarabiia ... If you did that and it worked, I will also follow the same route. Does the DLI change get approved quickly?

Change schools. After you start your new program. When you are 5 months away from the expiry date of your study permit apply for an extension,

Yes it’s done instantly.
It’s just a transmission of message to IRCC notifying that you’re in a new school.

I currently have my study permit for January 2020 but I want to apply to another school and program for September 2020. I’ll start my program in January with a foundation course which ends in March. I don’t want to start the first year and later change in September because that would be waste of money because I already paid for my first year but once I get my admission i can request for a refund but I can’t do that once I start the main program so My question is can I take a break from March, the end of my foundation program till September when my new program starts?

You should apply for Visior/Temporary Residence during that period, bcoz study permit applies only 150 days of exemption between study or change of college

You can change the college. Once you get the offer letter from the other college, just update the DLI number on your gckey profile
