Once a study permit and visa are approved for a specific Designated Learning Institution (DLI), some applicants later want to switch schools before or after arriving in Canada.
What group members advised:- You cannot change the DLI on an already-issued study permit visa. If you want to attend a different institution than the one on your approved application, you need to apply for a new study permit.
- A related follow-up (switching DLI only after the student has already traveled to Canada and is enrolled) was raised but not resolved in this thread — if you're specifically asking about changing schools after arrival and enrollment, confirm the process directly with IRCC or a regulated immigration consultant, since that's a distinct scenario from a pre-travel DLI change.
