Attend A Different Univ After Getting Visa???

[chd2canada]

Hello,

I have gotten the study visa based on my admission to Concordia University (for Sep 2011). But after getting the visa, I got admitted to UBC as well (for the Jan 2012 session). Now I am wondering if it will be OK to not go to Concordia in Sep but go to UBC in Jan with the study permit approval letter I got based on my admission to Concordia.

At Concordia I was going for Master in Software Engineering and at UBC it is Master of Software System. Since the two programs are very similar, I was thinking there shouldn't be a problem in changing the university from visa perspective.

If you have any experience with a such a situation, please share your advise. I would really appreciate it. Thanks!!!

How long are both the programs running,same duration of time.If yes,then fine.
Am only worried of the student visa that you were given in the event that one school has the same program runing longer than the other.Then renewal would be tricky.

Habil,
Both programs end in April 2013. Since, I already have the study permit approval letter valid till 8/31/2013, I hope I can just go to UBC in Jan.

Thanks for your comments.
