Effective today, doesn't say change of course but only when changing learning institutions.
It doesn’t. You can change programs within same DLIs.Can you kindly post the link where this rule is stated that you must apply for a new study permit if you are already in Canada and want to change program within the same DLI.
I do not have the study permit yet because I haven’t arrived Canadadoes your study permit indicate you will be attending the project management program?
That’s what I think as well. Because the link you posted says “If you’re moving in between post-secondary levels at the same DLIIt doesn’t. You can change programs within same DLIs.
What about the college rules ? Like fanshawe where it is said that students can't not change courses if they are in canada?It doesn’t. You can change programs within same DLIs.

Call the school and ask. Why apply for a study permit for a program that you didn’t even intend to complete? You need admissions to the program.But I want to go to this same college and I can't withdraw
Don't they like cancel my offer letter if they know I am already planning on changing course ?
