This means that you can study at any Designated Learning Institution in Ontario without the need to apply for a new Study Permit.

The list of DLIs are here -> https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/prepare/designated-learning-institutions-list.html

It's not uncommon to get these restrictions. If you want to study at a DLI outside Ontario, you will need a new study permit.

Also, once you've been admitted into Canada, you can of course visit any part of the country. You just have to maintain your status as a student - no one is stopping you from having a vacation in Banff.

Yes, you need a visa to visit the USA. Go read this -> https://in.usembassy.gov/visas/

Of course that depends on your nationality and those questions are better fit in a US VISA forum, not here.

Your study permit allows you to move freely anywhere in Canada provided you meet the conditions in it (such as be enrolled full-time), etc.
