You're not changing DLI just the program within the same DLI so you don't need to inform IRCC as per the IRCC guidelines. But it is best to change it inside Canada from what I know.
Thanks for your answer.
Anyway, I applied for Post graduate certificate which is 1-year program and after I got SP (fingger-crossed) and landed in Can, I would like to change to another Post graduate certificate which is 2-years program (same college), so do I need to inform IRCC to change my SP from 1-year to 2-years?

Welcome. Just apply for student permit extension before your existing student permit expires. If there's a co-op or practicum included for your 2-year program apply also for a work permit. You can find the procedure in IRCC website for detailed guidelines.

Not necessary for new application. Visa is a travel document and nothing to do with DLI. If your new course and duration is almost similar to the original DLI and course filed for SP, you can explain to IO at POE. Your study permit will be issued at the POE hence if any much deviation from the original SP application will trouble you. Be cautious that you have taken similar course with same duration matching your original SP application.
Hi. I have submitted DLI transfer request outside Canada after receiving TRV / stamped study visa/ approved application. My course is going to start on Jan 2022.
* Will I be allowed to enter the country and join new university since I have informed IRCC about my university change(DLI transfer request submitted) or
* Do I need to reapply my Visa? start date, course duration all are similar for both the universities.

Doesn't matter if course is the same. DLI change prior to attending, means new study permit application. Don't take the chance, APPLY ASAP.

You have nothing to worry about since you are reapplying for same course, and same program level. You will be approved again. The issue is just time as it's already late November.
