Shift from University of Windsor to SIAST

[Rdass3646]

Guys I am having a hard time figuring it out myself so wanted to take your opinion on this. My question is if I get study visa for MEng at University of Windsor which is a 2 year cour and later shift to Pg diploma in Bussiness management at Siast Polytechnic which is a 1 year course.Will it pose any problem when I apply for PR since I shifted from a 2 year course to a 1 year course.
At Cic's official website they mention you can change your program or institution at post secondary level without notifying cic.
Any help would be greatly appraciated.

You'll need to inform CIC that you are changing schools and courses. I personally think it's a very poor decision. You'll end up with a low value PG diploma rather than a masters and only a one year PGWP. But obviously your choice.

@scylla tysm for your response. My main querry is that on their website cic mentions that you do not need to notify cic if you are changing institutions as a post secondary student.
Also, if I inform cic about the change will my study permit be valid only upon their approval or I just need to notify them ?

Hey

You don't need to notify CIC about institute change, it won't affect your current study permit but obviously after completing your study you will need to apply for PGWP asap. When you will apply for your PGWP you will only get one year permit instead of three years. One is very short time to get a job and be eligible for PR as well so make sure everything before taking a decision like this.

Good luck

Addition

You can not apply PGWP twice, so once your one year PGWP gets expired you will either go for restoration your extension which will be allowed only if you will have PR in process or LMIA or LMOA.
