Hi guys,
I have a question about changing schools. I already have study and work permit paper. I'm in my country now (outside Canada). I want to change my school but confused. In visa application web page they say you can change your school by "student: transfer schools". I've submitted web form via e-mail and explain my situation. But they replied this:
"Dear Applicant,
This refers to your e-mail below.
Kindly find the necessary information below:
Requests to change DLIs after applying for a study permit
Outside Canada
Students may request to change their DLI prior to entering Canada if their visa or electronic travel authorization (eTA) has not yet been approved by IRCC.
If the student changed their DLI after submitting their study permit application and the application is still in progress, the student may submit their new letter of acceptance via the IRCC Web form.
If their visa or eTA has already been approved, the student should submit a new application and pay the appropriate fees online or at the visa application centre.
Inside Canada
Students engaging in post-secondary studies in Canada may transfer between institutions (both public and private) or change their course or program of study without applying for a change to the condition of their study permit, as long as the receiving institution is a DLI.
Students should notify IRCC through their MyAccount when they transfer to another DLI.
Students who transfer to a DLI that doesn’t have an approved COVID-19 readiness plan and decide to leave Canada may not be able to return because their DLI is not on the approved list.
We hope this information is helpful.
Kind Regards,
"
I really don't understand why I can't use "student: transfer schools". They said I should submit new application. Has anyone experienced my situation before?
