According to CIC:

For post-secondary students

- You may change your school, program and/or field of study without applying for a new study permit. You do not need to apply for a change to the condition of your study permit, either. You may continue to use your study permit as long as it is valid.

- If you are changing your level of study (e.g., bachelor's to master's), you do not need to apply for a change to the condition of your study permit, either.

No, you have to claim the refund from Niagara college and pay to Douglas.

@regina

Thank you so much for such a valueable information. I have few questions:-

1. Douglas college accept 6.5 bands and i have 6 overall still they can accept my application.

2. On website for may-august intake 15 feb is last date for submission?

 

[Regina]

Douglas college accept 6.5 bands and i have 6 overall still they can accept my application.

Is it ACADEMIC Ielts?

They could accept your application but suggest you take some ESL courses before or together with your chosen program.

If they write on website for may-august intake 15 Feb is last date for submission then that what they mean.

 

[Jaiveer Singh]

Yes it is Academics

It is important to do ESL? What is its significance?

Yes 15 feb date i am not able to understand this concept. I have seen this date on a link you posted above

 

[Regina]

It is important to do ESL? What is its significance?

if your ielts is academic and 6.5. they could accept it as it is. If your IELTS is not Academic but only General or only 6.0, they could offer you as the terms of accepting you into program to take couple of ESL to IMPROVE your English.

IELTS score will be the requirement of your new school (if any) and not by the CIC.
