Study Permit
if a student changes institution, is new study permit required?
Comments(1)
If a student is transferring from one Designated Learning Institution (DLI) to another, even if it is at the same level of study, he or she must notify Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship (IRCC) by updating his or her online account and ensuring that the school is a DLI. The same applies for post-secondary students changing their level of study (i.e. from a bachelor?s to master?s program). Please check the conditions listed on the study permit to verify whether the permit restricts the holder from studying at a particular institution or program. If a student transfers to a school, college, or university in Quebec, he or she will need to apply for a Certificate of Acceptance to Quebec (CAQ) and, if necessary, a new study permit. Primary students who are entering high school, as well as high school students who will move on to post-secondary education, must apply to modify their study permit.
