Yes, it is possible and allowed to do this change but make sure that you confirm with your university if they will transfer your fee etc. to the other college.

Once you get into Canada then you can switch your college/course. But why would your leave TRU and move to Algonquin?

hi,
its easy to move university to college but you must have to know your university fee refund policy........i think mostly universities/colleges doesn't refund your 1st semester paid fees in the case of changing institution......

TRU is a good university and you will get visa for that. The withdrawal decision is yours, i guess you should wait till mid august before you request for withdrawal.
