Hi sriram

If you are not comfortable with the studies or the college, then you can change it while you are in Canada ,

you can do it as soon as possible , there is no need to inform CIC about it as you can freely change

between courses and institutions, but don't delay it.

CIC will only extend your visa only if u successfully complete you studies and provide them with a final transcript from the college you attended in Canada .

Hi

As my preferred course starts only in September, i came back to india thinking that i can again get back by august or september

My question is, if my visa is valid till AUG 2012, can i travel to canada from india by again getting an admission in a college either by this september or by ext may

If i reach there with the visa i got in my hand, will they question me on the same or i can extend the visa in the airport itself by just showing the admission letter which i will be getting before reaching there?

HI sriram

like I said you do not need to inform CIC about the course / college change neither will they ask about it as long as you have

acceptance letter with you.

regarding extension of your visa :

The visa cannot be extended , only study permits can be extended at CPC -V,

most probably you will have to apply for a TRV inside Canada before your current visa expires.
