Yes, but after you reach there and course starts. In addition , you must choose other course in same college and must notify CIC after you change your program and may be required to give an appropriate reason for the change of course.

Yes, but may charge nominal course change fee. Better to consult your consultant, college or any of your friend already there.

It is not necessary to change the course in same college. As long as you are taking course in same intake you are safe to go. you can change your course and change your college too.
