Enquiry- Changing course on Arrival

[tigersingh]

Hi Friend,

If i chose a PG program at Fleming College (Peterborough, Ontario) and get a VISA, then after reaching Canada can i change my course to a 1 year diploma or 2 year advance diploma and take admission in any college in TORONTO area?? IS it possible - PG level to UG level course.
&
If it is possible then do we have to tell CIC regarding that ??

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

As per current official CIC rules:

As a post-secondary student
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.
(http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=487&t=15)

So, provided you get entry to the new course... yes... you can change over to any course in any province (outside Quebec, where you need CAQ). No problem whatsoever.
