Changing DLI From Private College to Public College

[Venesa]

I would like some feedback on the following questions

Question 1 - I applied for a study permit at a private college in ontario and was successful in my application, however under the condition section of the document it states that I am not allowed to work off campus. how can I get this changed or do I now have to be enrolled at a public college to be able to work off campus?

Question 2 - When I change my DLI number from a private college to a public college will I now be given/mailed a new study permit?

Question 3 - Is there a processing fee to change a DLI from a private college to a public college in Ontario

Question 4 - Once I submit the change for the DLI on my account what is the processing time by CIC?

Hi Vanesa,
I just wonder, how it was done in your case? after getting a study permit for a private college at first and then change to a public college. have you amended your study permit and able to work off campus?

The post you're responding to is from five years ago.

Are you already in Canada and have you already completed at least one semester of your studies?

So your friend attended/studied at the private college and then changed to a public one, correct? You need to apply to amend the work permit part of your study permit. It will take many months.

UBC explains it well.

Thanks a lot Naturgrl. Just wondering, are they going amend and add work authorization? since the student has changed the program and stated a different situation while applying for initial study permit? Please share your thoughts

Did the student study at the private college for at least a semester, and then change schools? If not and just updated file, then student doesn’t have authorization to study at the public college. IRCC doesn’t have to do anything as it is the student’s responsibility to know the rules. It will come out when student applies for PGWP and the original school is on the study permit.

As for work permit, if student is applying to change conditions then it may be refused because it is based on the original school.
