Got study permit approved, but deferring degree from Sept 2024 to Jan 2025 (4 months) -- will it cause problem? Do I need to do anything?

I got my study permit approved on June 2024. It's valid until Sept 2026.

I was supposed to start my degree (Master's of Business Admin) from Fall 2024. However, due to a personal issue, I will not be able to come now, so I deferred my degree to Winter 2025. My university has agreed and will give me the new Admission Letter stating the deferral and new start date.

So, this should be fine for ircc right? As long as I can show my new Admission Letter at the port of entry, I should be admissible as my VISA is valid at that time, and I have the Letter to show the deferral and new start date from uni? My VISA will remain valid, correct? Do I need to inform ircc right now?

To reiterate: I am deferring my program from Sept 2024 to Jan 2025 (just 4 months / a semester delay), and uni will provide me the new letter, and my student visa is valid until Sept 2026 (so valid for more than a year after I come).
