SOURCE-BACKED ANSWER

How do I complete Change schools or study-permit conditions?

Use the current IRCC decision tree for a school, program or permit-condition change and complete the required action before relying on the new study arrangement. Start with the reviewed official source, follow the current actions and submit through your own government account.

Practical order

1. 1

   Record the current and proposed institution, DLI, program, level, province, dates and the conditions printed on the current study permit.

2. 2

   Obtain and review the new institution’s letter of acceptance, including program, campus, start date, conditions and any deposit record.

3. 3

   Follow the IRCC page for the recorded location, permit wording, post-secondary or secondary level, Québec situation and whether an application is already in progress.

4. 4

   Prepare the current permit and passport, both school records, academic progress, funds, PAL/TAL or CAQ handling and every document named by the selected official branch.

5. 5

   Submit the new permit, extension or in-progress-application update through the named IRCC channel before changing schools when the current branch requires it.

6. 6

   Read the pending-case and issued-permit instructions before beginning at the new school, then retain the decision and verify all study and work conditions.
