Hello guys. I just got my Student Visa approved.
I got accepted in a university in Canada for Bachelor's of Science since I studied engineering in a college for 2 years. When I got my transfer credit evaluation after acceptance, It said that the university only accepted 1 course out of the two years that I studied in the college. Bachelors of engineering in Canada is 5 years so I have to study 5 more years for the degree so I lost interest in that field and I want to pursue Bachelor's of Business Administration program. I contacted my university and they transferred me to the business program but now the problem is that when I applied for the visa, I applied as Bachelor's of Science program (4 years). Now that I have changed my program, I am afraid that immigration won't give me my study permit since I switched programs. In my SOP (STATEMENT OF PURPOSE), I clearly stated that I am an engineering transfer student and how I loved that field. The DLI is still the same but I only switched programs. I haven't even registered for my courses yet. Can someone tell me if its a big issue and will they will let me study? What are the possible outcomes? Should I register for my business courses or science courses? Please let me know if anybody knows the answer to these questions ASAP.
Thank you!

Yes, your DLI will let you change your program of study, but this is a deviation from Area of Specialization printed on your Study permit. Read your SP, it should read:
Science/ Engineering
but now you want to deviate to:
Business/Administration.
You need to inform IRCC of the changes and request to ammend SP
