My friend's intake (September 2021) just got cancelled due to "Overcapacity". He paid his 1 year fee, got his PPR and everything was confirmed. Anyone else that this has happened to? How to prevent?

Did you also upload your PPR and confirm your invoice? Was this a fresh admission?

When did they email you regarding this?

The issue is not how to prevent. But what to do about it?
You can still travel and find a different school here (of course there's a bit of legwork to find a college that would let you in).

I do not see border agent refusing you entry because your school cancelled your admission after you applied for and obtain study permit.

That's too much work for something that isn't supposed to happen in the first place.

I would like to know who it's happening to, why it's happening, or what's causing it! if this has happened to anyone on this website - pls share your experience!

Your best bet is to try and get into another program at the same college. If you decide to change DLI before you've done at least 1 semester at your current school, your school will report to IRCC and your SP will be cancelled, putting you out of status.

Good luck doing research here. It will be easy.

Hello everyone, same thing happened to me, I posted about it in the other forum discussion also about this issue you may or may not wanna check there for any info.

Seeing as the college is still MIA(Unresponsive) I decided to try and find info on how I could change DLI and what impacts that would have on my study permit.

I'm guessing a bunch of you guys also applied or have already received your study permits but are left hanging without a school to attend, like me. You might wanna check this out: ( https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/change-schools.html ).

Also I'd just try straight up reaching out to IRCC and explaining your situation, cause I don't see anything potentially wrong we've done as students. I speculate that they would have at least some guidance on what options are available in this special and unfortunate case. That being hopeful at least.

Please share whatever progress is made, it's much appreciated.
