Yes - you can switch to a Master's program. When you are switching schools, make sure the break between the time you stop attending your first program and start attending your Master's is less than 90 days.

You will have to extend your study permit. There should be no issues extending your study permit.

I have a question about 90 days?
my current prg started on 6 Sept and master's start from 1 jan. So, i should withdraw from my current prg after completing one semester in december ( as i have paid for one semester ). then i would have no 90 day issue, is that right?

Yes - that's right.

You want to avoid being out of school for more than 90 days since this will automatically cancel your study permit.
