Please, I need information on people that fall into this category. Were you able to extend your study permit when you switched from an undergraduate program to a two-year college program without enrolling in your course even after asking your old school to defer to the next semester?

If you want to change to a different DLI without attending your original DLI first, you need to apply for a new study permit.
Thank you so much for your response, for someone that has already went ahead with the change after he got to Canada, he has to apply for a new study permit right?It's not longer possible to do this. IRCC has changed the rules.

Yes. And you need to get a new study permit BEFORE you start studying at your new school. Otherwise you'll be studying without authorization.Thank you so much for your response, for someone that has already went ahead with the change after he got to Canada, he has to apply for a new study permit right?
Yes am in Canada nowYou need a new study permit, if you never studied in the program you were accepted.You can only change if you have studied in your first program for a semester or year. Are you in Canada now?
OkayYes. And you need to get a new study permit BEFORE you start studying at your new school. Otherwise you'll be studying without authorization.
I’m already in Canada and my current study permit expires in April, I was planning on extending in March.Yes am in Canada now
my first study permit was for U of Manitoba but starting with a 8 months course in the international college of Manitoba(hope you understand what I mean)
my problem now is I already went ahead with the DLI change and classes starts in January in my new DLI ( it does not exceed the 150 days authorized leave) should I apply for a new study permit now or wait a month before my current study permit expires?
You cannot study at a different school unless you get a new study permit.I’m already in Canada and my current study permit expires in April, I was planning on extending in March.

I don't know the chances of getting a new SP. You'll have to apply and see what happens. I would strongly recommend you apply as soon as possible. You don't have that much time.This is so scary mehn, what are the chances of getting a new SP. if I had seen this new update on time would have just completed a semester
You were told about this back in early September so the fact you need a new SP shouldn't be coming as a surprise now.

While applying, should I go for the extending process and submit my new LOA knowing I still have a valid study permit?I don't know the chances of getting a new SP. You'll have to apply and see what happens. I would strongly recommend you apply as soon as possible. You don't have that much time.

No. You need to apply for a new study permit - not a extension.While applying, should I go for the extending process and submit my new LOA knowing I still have a valid study permit?
