Received visa - planning to change univ - will i need a new visa?

[Maverick13]

Hey guys,
I have recently received my student visa on the basis of a 2 year masters program in university of windsor when i applied for a visa i was unemployed and got rejected from waterloo and mcmaster. now i have a good job and i feel it can get me into a better university because of the experience. i am planning to wait for one year and work and re-apply for a better univ. i am not satisfied with the education quality of windsor. i am planning to apply to a better univ for fall 2013. so since i already have the visa i hope i wont need a new one next year? or will i? i am very confused because if i have to re-apply for visa next year again on the basis of a new univ then its better that i go now. please help....

Hi,

CIC says:

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.

I believe, its the same for university students too...
