Please someone should help me clarify this:

I applied for a 1 year course starting in September 2023 and I have received Visa approval. Just few days ago, my school wrote that they have insufficient space in the program, revoked my initial LOA and now transferred me to a new program which is a 2-year course with a new LOA. Please note that I already paid full tuition for the initial program. They issued me a new LOA and payment receipt. The fee i paid for the 1-year program was transferred by the school as payment of 1st year of the 2-year program. Their reason was that I did not upload my visa on time and the space is filled up. I actually like the new programme and want to accept it

The challenge for me is how this situation would be explained at the POE? Using a different LOA and also with a different length of program

Do I need to notify IRCC? Would changing from 1 year course to 2 years course be an issue?

You advice, experience and suggestion will be appreciated.

You submit your new LOA through webform to update your file before you enter Canada. When you enter, you show your new LOA.
