Change the School for the second time

[mheshmati]

Hi,

I was wondering, how many times we are allowed to change schools at the graduate level. (same level, for example, Ph.D.). I mean if someone changed the first school after a year, is he/she allowed to change the school again for the second time? will there be consequences?

If you are studying at the school on your permit, you can change DLIs. The issue is that you are not completing programs so will not count towards PGWP.

Thanks for your reply. I'm not asking about PGWP, I'm asking about the number of DLI changes. Can students change their DLI many times? for example 3-5 times?
And does changing DLI 2 times cause issues for future visa applications?

What sort of visa applications. If you adhere to the rules and fall within the parameters to change DLIs then should not be an issue.
