Last time I sent mail to Conestoga college, it took them 1.5 weeks to reply to me for a simple refund question.
You can check on the website of the college to see if there is any form or process to change program.

Well, I'm not expert but while you are waiting for official reply from the school. Here all the info I found on Conestoga website.
Based on it, it looks like you will need to withdraw from your current program then re-apply for a new program.
- You will surely loose $200 of administrative/application fee for first program
- You will loose another $200 to re-apply
- $1500 deposit is non-refundable after deposit due date (not sure when?), but I think you may try to ask to transfer deposit to new program after you get in (this all depends on the school, you will likely need to communicate back and forth)
Also, there is a risk that you won't got accept in new program. And if you are applying for May intake, it will probably take 2 weeks ~ 1 months to process all over again so you will be late for everything.
Again, that's all my speculation. If you can already log in to school portal, try to look if there is email of study counselor, he/she may answer to your question faster than school department.

Q. Can I change my program after I accept?
You can only accept one offer of admission at a time. After you've accepted the offer, you can change your decision and accept a different offer after one business day. This action will cancel the previous acceptance and other colleges will be informed that you chose Conestoga.
