change of college and update to co-op study permit.

[shangrila]

I got LOA for fall 2020 for a non co-op program from a college in Ontario, I paid fees and applied for SDS visa without co-op. Its been 2 months and there is still no update. My biometric is pending as vfs are close in India. Now I have offer from another college in Ontario itself with co-op for winter 2021.
And I desperately want the college with co-op program.
I have applied for deferral in the first college to get more time.!
what should I do now?
1. withdraw from first college and visa application, get refund from first college and then apply again for other college?
2. Can we change to a college which has co-op after receiving visa for non co-op college?? how?
3. lastly, now that there is 2 stage approvals, how will change of college procedure go about.
4. or should I change college after coming to Canada

Please help. Your suggestions and inputs are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

A co-op work permit allows students to work full-time during regular academic terms. You must have a co-op work permit if your work (e.g. co-op placement or internship) is integral to your program of study. I read we can separately apply for the same, but not sure.
yes, Have applied for PG diploma course.
