Hi Max, thank you so much for the information . I have one question. I came here in canada onJan 2023, then after studying for two months i feel I should change the college. So I applied to another college and got the offer letter on April for sept 2023. Then my 1 semester finish here and i got the summer break and I am working on SIN. So am I eligible to work in scheduled break even though i got accepted in other college? Morever, i still havenot took the drop from my first college.

Hi Max, thanks so much for the information. My sister applied for study permit a week ago, but she got an LOA from a much better uni. Does giving a web form increase the processing time for the application? Do we have to attach new Study Plan to the webform or just the LOA will be fine. She is in Bangladesh right now so I was worried it may delay further. Her program starts on September 2023

Can I just let them know using GC key and start my course in the new school or should I do anything more other than that? (I'm in Canada btw). And also will I get any kind of confirmation on my email that they have successfully changed the schools? And also should I inform my previous school that I'm switching to a new dli?

Hi!Thank you for great information. Always love your content and clear answers. I am also in a situation. I applied for a study permit in September and one DLI starting in Winter 2023. But my application has not been approved yet. I have a second admission letter which I got very late for winter admission and I wanted to move there as it is UOT for Ph.D. :). I am confused should I upload the second letter now and I should wait for a study permit decision, land in Canada, and then change schools right after reaching there? I am confused as IRCC's new rule about changing schools is one should be active, studying to change school inside Canada.

Thank you Max, just to be very clear please. A student is interested in a two year diploma in a new school but about applying for visa using a one year postgraduate certificate program LOA from another school . Do you advise the student to go ahead to get LOA from the second school now but only do the changing after arriving in Canada or do you advise the student to wait to get to Canada before getting the LOA from the new diploma course of interest? The student wants to know to avoid losing the seats in the new school if the LOA is not secured on time and acceptance paid. Again, will getting the second school LOA affect the visa chances even if the IRCC is not informed yet ?

So I have been accepted into the MA program in Information Systems & Technologies at York University for the Fall 2023 intake, and I have accepted the offer via MyFile. Meanwhile earlier I had been accepted into York Pgm PG Certificate program and Post receiving confirmation & receipt of the payment from York SCS, I applied for Canadian Visa at IRCC on 28th Feb 2023 providing the documents from the same in the SDS category and got my biometrics done on the 6th March 2023, and it has now been approved and I have to send my visa to be stamped on my passport for that where I attached LOA and everything from the PG Certificate program. For my current situation, I received an offer for MA in IST for Fall 2023 intake, on the 13th of March 2023, which leaves me in a confusing situation as to what is to be done as I want to MA in IST as I have accepted the offer for it as well and want to do masters. The DLI is the same for both courses, but the duration of pgm which I applied for is 1 year and the duration of the master's is 2 yrs. Can you help me with this?

I am an international student at a Canadian university and currently pursuing a Master's degree in Business Analytics and I'm with my spouse in Canada. However, I was working in the banking industry for ten years in my home country, and I have a BBA and MBA. Despite my experience, I am interested in changing my career path to electrical engineering, a field that has always interested me since my childhood. Therefore, I am considering enrolling in a two-year diploma program in electrical engineering at Algonquin College instead of continuing my Master's program. I would like to know if this is a logical and what are the steps

My concern is that I didn't receive any confirmation emails or messages from the IRCC to verify that my DLI number was successfully changed. Also, I noticed that at no point during the process was I asked to upload my new college's Acceptance Letter. I'm finding it a bit difficult to navigate the system and ensure everything is set correctly. I certainly don't want to find myself in a situation where I thought my DLI number had been changed but in fact, it was not. How to confirm if my DLI number change was successful?

Another question is that i am not currently in canada and i intend to change the DLI, how can i do that in GCKEY portal?

Hello Max, Quick question please, my visa got accepted to Humber college, but I want to study at algonquin so I can be with my sister. If I inform the IRCC of this change when classes begin do I need to wait for their response or move to algonquin as soon as I submit this change without waiting for a response, this is important so that I can be eligible for a refund of my tuition fees, which is valid till 10 days after classes begin. Thanks partner.

Hello, I have a really I have a very particular case. I have my student visa valid until June 2025 since I am studying a 4-year program, but I got an admission to a one-year program that would start in fall 2023 and end in winter 2024, which would still leave me with one year of visa. Is it legal to stay in Canada that extra year working and doing experience and then apply to the PGWP? What would happen in this case?

@ImCanada Жыл бұрын

You will need to let IRCC know and your status will be adjusted. You will have to apply for your PGWP once your classes end

Hi Max, I have some question. I recently complete one program at one college this April 2023 and I already got accepted to another college which start this May 8 2023, in the meantime I submitted my application for a study permit extension but I didn't get to update new DLI on IRCC. When I did, the message pops up as I cannot change until the decision is made. Would there be any problem to that? thanks

My issue here becomes really big because i’d like to change from an advanced 3 year arts related program to a 2 year diploma related with business. These two colleges are located in Ontario in two different cities. Do i have the possibility to change my college at this point?
