Study Permit and Change of Province

Hello there,

So, I'm currently studying in a ESL program in Vancouver, BC. My school also has a campus in Toronto, ON and they allow students to transfer anytime between them. I'm planning to transfer there; however, I'm not sure about what to do with my visa and study permit.
It's the exactly the same institution and the same program, just in different provinces.
I've got a study permit to study here in Canada until 15th July and I don't know if I'm allowed to change to Toronto because of it.
I asked my school about it and they said it would be fine. That because I'm doing ESL it is allowed.
Still, should I call the Immigration Office warning them about what I'm planning to do? Is my permit specific to BC province and will it be valid in ON? is there anything that could cause me any problems?

Thanks!
