Wrong College name on study permit

[hpgb68]

Hi

I am about to start a post secondary education at George Brown College. I just got my study permit issued at niagara immigration office. But today i've realized that institution name was entered incorrect by immigration officer. Instead of "George Brown College" it was "Georgian College" I know it was my mistake not to check it carefully and i really regret for it. I am now here in Toronto and i have no idea how to get it fixed. I appreciate any help.

Thank You...

Adding more information, I really don't know if the link that I posted is the correct way, because on the link it says:

Use this application to obtain a Verification of Status (VOS) document or a replacement copy of a valid temporary resident document that has been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Mine SP is not lost, stolen or destroyed, it have only a wrong institution name, so literally that process is not applicable for my case. I am going to call again to CIC to check what I have to do.

thats the right number.

u need to navigate through that to the agent.

u being a student would have to use option 2 on the main menu and then goto 7 for study permit options under that.

after u type 7 they would ask your 8 digit client id no and the 4 digits of your birthyear.

once you have entered this correctly the computer will say when your application was received at their office.

further if you hold you will be transferred to the next available agent.

the wait time could vary.

morning 6 is best to call as all of them would be sleeping and all agents are free

good luck

Using the Help Line Centre I found this:

How do I correct an error on my immigration document?

If there is an error on your immigration document:

complete a Request to Amend Record of Landing, Confirmation of Permanent Residence or Valid Temporary Resident Documents form, and
send it to the Query Response Centre in Ottawa, Ontario.

An amendment will only be made if your document does not match the personal information in your entry passport.
