Please can someone help and guide me

I have already received study permit for "data analytics for business program" may2021 and I'm from business background . I did bba in india and finding this program very tough since it has database , machine learning subjects which I'm finding very hard bcoz I have no prior coding or computer background.

So want to change into IBM logistics program in same college but that program is available in next sept 2021 or jan2022 intake

I'm still in india
I want to change program within same college but the program which I want to change starts in different intake .

So should I just update ircc about it or re-apply for new study visa

I have a similar desire to yours. So:
1. You do not need to apply for a new study permit because you do not change the DLI.
2. If the gap time between your current course and your future course is lower than 150 days, you will not need to inform IRCC; but in my case, I would like to be safe by informing IRCC thru an email or a web form. I believe that even though our gap time is lower than 150 days, informing them will definitely not harm our application now and in the future.

Speaking of studying. I was recommended this https://gradesfixer.com/ service, which was quite a lifesaver for me. I'm sharing it here for students who might use it.

I'm not an immigration expert, but I can offer some general guidance. In situations like yours, it's advisable to consult with the International Student Office or an immigration advisor at your college for the most accurate and up-to-date information. They can provide guidance on the best course of action for changing your program within the same college. It's important to consider the timing and availability of the program you wish to switch to, as well as any potential implications for your study permit and visa. They can help you understand whether you need to update IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) about your program change or if you need to reapply for a new study visa. Remember to gather all the necessary documentation and information related to your situation before seeking advice. The International Student Office will be able to provide you with the appropriate guidance based on their expertise and experience in handling similar cases.
