This new information is so confusing! In one breathe they say you just need to change DLI in your CIC account, in another they say you need to submit a new SP application for DLI change.

To answer your question, it seems we need to report to the school for which the SP was granted first, prior to changing. Otherwise, we need to submit a fresh application. Makes no sense at all.

They are constantly changing the rules on their damn website without publicizing it. This is so frustrating!!!!
I was wondering too what is required in case of changing campus, but of the same College/ University

I have another question about changing DLI

I'm international student in Canada, I have studied fulltime on the last 2 terms Sept - Dec 2020 and Jan-April 2021
I just changed the schools , DLI recently
Can I still work off campus fulltime this summer ? or I have to wait until Sept 2021 when I start studying in the new school then I can work off campus.

Thank you
For changing DLI, did you reapply for student visa.

No, I already have the study permit, and I'm currently in Canada. there is no need to re-apply the visa
Did you get anything from immigration approving your DLI change?

Is it safe to change DLI once in Canada, but right as semester starts? not having studied before? sister-in-law got study permit for one DLI, but got accepted to another DLI we prefer, so wondering if she can come and then once here, just switch to the preferred DLI...

This individual studied for a full year in Canada with the first DLI before switching to a new DLI. Doesn't apply to your SIL's situation. Once again, she needs a new study permit.
