Change Schools and Update your information

Changing your school or program

Before you change your school or program, you must meet all the conditions of your study permit. This means you must be:

  • enrolled at a designated learning institution (DLI) and

  • actively studying while you’re in Canada

You need to contact us if you:

  • are a post-secondary student changing schools

  • have a co-op work permit and you’ve changed post-secondary schools to another co-op program or

  • need to change conditions on your study permit

We may ask you to confirm your student status

If you have a study permit, you may receive an email from us. The email address will end in “@cic.gc.ca.” You must follow the instructions in that email, by the date indicated, to confirm you’re enrolled and actively studying in Canada.

If you change schools and don’t tell the Immigration Department,

Your old school will report you as not being registered to study. If this happens:

you’re breaking the conditions of your study permit

  • you may be asked to leave the country

  • this may prevent you from coming to Canada in the future

For example, you may not be approved for another study or work permit in the future.

Changing your DLI if you’re outside Canada

If your application is still in progress



You can tell us you changed your DLI by submitting a new letter of acceptance using the IRCC web form.


If your application has been approved,

If your application for a study permit has been approved and you change your DLI, you must submit a new study permit application with a new letter of acceptance. You must also pay all the fees for the new application.



You don’t need a representative to change your DLI in your online account, even if you used one to apply for your study permit initially. You just need the study permit application details.


It's important to note that the specific requirements and processes of the Program can change over time. Therefore, it's recommended to visit the official website of the Govenment of Canada Canada.ca or consult us for the most up-to-date and accurate information before starting the application process.
