Hi,

I think you have to notify and seek required changes in your valid study permit.

I do not think if we can categorize everything as secondary or post secondary levels. Otherwise, may be a Ph.d student wish to go for a UG Diploma! (as both comes under post secondary level), but that's not a case.

It may be like;

1. Secondary level
2. Post secondary level
3. Graduate level
4. Post Graduate level

I don't think if it's really hard to switch over.

Hi,

Yes, I am saying only on the basis of this web –link.

I quote that FAQ;

I am already in Canada and have a valid study permit. I would like to change my school or program of studies. What do I need to do to modify my study permit?

If you are changing schools and/or your program of study but remain at the same level (e.g., secondary level), you do not need to modify your study permit.

However, if for example you are a student at the primary school level and you are moving on to secondary school, or if you are a secondary school student and you are moving on to post-secondary studies, or if you are moving from post-secondary studies to secondary studies, you need to submit an application to modify your study permit at the Citizenship and Immigration Canada Case Processing Centre in Vegreville, Alberta

Pay attention to the underlined part, that’s only one such example but not a complete rule. We can interpret the rule in many different ways, but I think the best way is to categorize your course level into;

1. Secondary level
2. Post secondary level
3. Graduate level
4. Post Graduate level

We do not need to notify ‘Case Processing Center, Vegreville, Alberta’ in case we decide to move within any of the listed level, but we move from one level to another level, thn of course there is a requirement to notify CIC.

May be I am wrong with my words, but this what seems to be the best way. Possible you won’t find any trouble in changing your level but may be problem (if any) comes at the time of applying for Post Graduate Work Permit. So why take risk!
