Since my last post (link below) I had applied for the GCMS case notes (screenshot below). It seems that the visa officer thought I was changing my program. However, that's not true. All admitted students at my previous institution in the United States start as "bachelor of arts" and after a major is declared it changes to "bachelor of science". I hadn't declared a major since I was transferring but I only took the relevant courses to my intended computer science major and even received 24/31 transfer credits at Memorial University NL. Please advise.

Charanjeet Pruthi yes, suppose if I had continued at my previous institution then my transcript would of Bachelor of Science. But since I'm transferring IRCC thought I'm changing program Art -> Science.

Charanjeet Pruthi I explained about the transfer process and reasons for transferring but didn't write about the program change since technically it was the same.

Rishab Agarwal Hm that’s the issue- you might not be able to explain this. The visa officer thought you have left your studies in middle.
