Hello
I have a question, i have been asked to send original passport as a decision has been made on my application but meanwhile i want to change the DLI
So can I change the DLI in this situation before i get a visa?
Or what should i do
If I can change, should i use transfer DLI or IRCC webform

Read rules for changing DLI. At this point you can not change your DLI against decision made. If you want to change and you are outside of Canada, you need to apply new Study Permit

you "can" change your DLI. But not the DLI on the already completed study permit application.

You need a new study permit application with the new DLI. You cannot "change" or "transfer" unless you have already been studying at that DLI for a while.
New rules

I think the mods need to consider making a STICKY post for this. This question surfaces daily on this thread, for the past year.

The problem is that whenever i want to transfer the DLI from my application page
It gives a declineed message that i cant transfer because not approved yet, meanwhile they said if it is approved you have to apply for a new study permit
It sounds a bit complicated for me

Your application (though approved) is not marked as approved until your counterfoil generated and your passport has been stamped. As have been explained to you before, since your application have been processed, the only way to change your DLI right now is to :

  1. Apply for a new study permit;
  2. Study at your currently approved DLI for at least a semester, then transfer.

Response for what? If you changed your DLI in your GCKey, you are not going to get any feedback/response from IRCC for that.
As long as you complied with the policy (i.e. changed DLI while in Canada and actively studying at another DLI), you should be fine.

Yes. You need to be actively studying at Conestoga first to change to NSCC. So attend for a semester and then change.
