Hi what about if the program has started already :( my class started last Mon and just received PPr today :( should I ask for a new acceptance letter from the school before I land? Is that important or I can just settle it with the school when I arrived next week and just present my old LOa?

It should not be a big problem. If you do not want to face questions at POE, better to have a new LOA.

Ty J5M +1 for you. What about transferring to another DLI and get a new LOA there before I land, would that be okay? Ive read that it is allowed to transfer and just notify cic via my cic account however Im not sure if it's okay to transfer now without having my initial landing
