Hi All,
I have a query.

If we get a visa under Spp, after reaching Canada, can we change our college to colleges under spp program.

If yes, how to proceed and approach different college's and is their any impact on my student visa ?

and what reason should i give to my current college to refund my fees, after some deductions ??

Please help me out guys......

No, there's no impact on your visa whatsoever. As long as the course in the new college is of the same level as old college (for example: PG or UG), you don't even need to inform the CHC, your college will do it for you. All you need to do is take admission in the college of your choice and then tell your present college that you're taking transfer. As simple as that.

You may change the college after reaching there it won't effect ur study visa. However, It could have some negative impact when u apply for PR.. They would definitely ask why u changed college and course, then u must have strong reason to prove ur point. Thats it

Don't exaggerate the things ... Once u reached Canada u can change college (must have a reason).
There is no need to change the college name on loan letter. You can just let them know(the particular bank) that u have changed the college because of....reason. NO NEED TO get another loan sanction letter.

you face problem only when applying for an off campus work permit after 6 months of studies because you will have to attach marksheet. But from where you will get a marksheet if you change school and waste 6 months.

your bank will do wire transfer only for the beneficiary i.e., your school. You won't get any extra penny for a new school unless you make suitable change in your loan papers.

If you withdraw from the school, you will get a refund, not your bank. But you wont get any money for a new school unless you make required changes in loan papers which is very difficult. Loan is based on a risk assessment.

jay, i was also taking the admission in georgian at barrie, but i skipped and moved to GBC in Toronto, as their is near 3-4000$'s different but their are more opportunities in Toronto, and it can return u a lot.

I don't want to demoralize u, but if u r thinking in that manner, and if possible get it changed to some college in Toronto.

It is as per my observation and i m not currently their and i will be joining GBC in Jan2013.
