Hello! I've learned a lot from your posts, and I appreciate the discussions. I hope you're all doing well.

I have a more complicated question and would appreciate an answer.

Currently, there is someone outside of Canada who has been granted a study permit for his/her first institution. Now, he/she want to apply for a study permit for a second institution. If the second study permit is refused, is it possible that the approval of the first study permit could also be cancelled?

You need a new study permit. You cannot change schools without a new one.

i inform iirc yesterday through DLI transfer
Can i still use my previous school to avoid new study permit
So you are now going to the school on your permit? You need to show proof that you are attending the school listed on your permit. If you are changing schools without every actively attending the first school (attend for a semester) then you need a new permit. Rules are on the IRCC site about changing schools. There are online forms to fill.

If you have proof that you are attending the school on your study permit, then you can enter Canada.

Before you change your school or program, you must meet all the conditions of your study permit. This means you must be:
