Changing the Institution or course

Are you an international student studying at a Canadian college but considering a change in your college? If so, we have some important information to help guide your decision-making process.

Firstly, it is important to understand that changing your college after arriving in Canada as a student of another Canadian college is possible, but it is not a simple process. There are several steps and conditions that must be met before making the change.

To begin with, you will need to obtain a letter of acceptance from the new college where you wish to transfer to. This letter should confirm that you have met all the admission requirements for the new program and that you have been accepted into the program.

Once you have your letter of acceptance, you will need to apply for a new study permit. This is a crucial step, as your current study permit is only valid for the institution and program you were accepted to. In order to be able to study at the new college, you must have a valid study permit that reflects the change in institution and program.

When applying for a new study permit, you will need to provide documentation from both your current and new institutions, demonstrating that you have met the necessary admission requirements and that you have been accepted into the new program. You will also need to provide evidence of sufficient funds to support yourself while studying at the new college.

It is important to note that changing your college mid-program may have an impact on your study permit and immigration status in Canada. You will need to ensure that you comply with all immigration regulations and requirements, and that you do not violate any conditions of your study permit, such as working off-campus eligibility and maintaining sufficient academic standing.

Overall, changing your college as an international student can be a complex process that requires careful planning and preparation. It is always advisable to seek out the guidance and support of our experienced immigration advisor to ensure that you understand all the steps involved and that you are able to make the best possible choices for your academic and immigration goals..
