SP Approved for 1 Yr Course, wants to change to 2 Years

[journey1712]

Hi All,
Please help. Not sure whether anyone has already asked this. I have been approved for a 1-year course in spring 2022 but would like to change to a 2 year course. My questions are as follows:
1. Do i need to apply for a new SP? will this jeopardise my previous application?
2. Can I just change the course directly through the DLI once school starts?
3. are there any options available for me?
Thank you very much for your clarification!

Hello Journey1712,

Save yourself the rest by continuing the one-year program. You can always apply to study a second one-year program and still be eligible for a 3-year post-graduation work permit if that is the aim.

If your new program is at the same DLI, and you have been offered an admission to the new program, you can go ahead and change without needing to apply for a new SP.

You will need to apply for an extension later to cover your study duration. Good luck.

If it's a new DLI, you need to apply for a new study permit, if you're still outside Canada.

Hi,
I intend to apply to the same DLI and yes in another program. But now that my SP has been approved, i can only apply for an extension at a later date is it?

Correct, since it's the same DLI you should be good.
