I have got admission in a 1 yr and also for a 3 yr program.

I want to study the 1 yr program as 3 yr program will be expensive for me. Can i change once i have taken visa on basis of 3 yr program.

Also If i get visa on PHD/ Masters , Can Iswitch it to a certificate course on landing in Canada? and go for higher studies after that if situation permits.

Regards

As a matter of fact u don't even need to inform cic even if ur downgrading ur level of study. So long as it's post secondary aka after high school ur good to go. Source: cic website.
