Congratulations , u only need to enter Canada before the expiry date of visa, no need to re apply for visa...Ask the college / university to defer ur admission to the next semester and mail u the new LOA...

Whoever told you this doesn't know what he is talking about. The information that you have been provided is not true.

As you are advised by the other member, ask your university for deferral and get the updated LOA. Enter Canada before the start of your semester with the required documents such as LOI, Updated LOA, Valid Visa and Passport, proof of funds etc.
 
Thank you all ...I'm relieved now...@inam is it mandatory to carry proof of funds?I showed only educational loan of 18lakhs against fd..so can I carry a copy of loan letter or original is required...also can I show any other source that I have not mentioned during visa application?

You would have obviously received a letter of acceptance, the person who issued you the letter (who signed it) you need to email him/her to defer your admission to the following semester. Better if you first confirm with the university.There might be a fee of $20-30 involved for deferral.

Btw congrats on getting your visa :)

1. yes, photocopy works
2. It should not be a problem if you show a different source.
