Starting November 8, 2024, you must be enrolled in the designated learning institution (DLI) named on your study permit. This means you can no longer change DLIs by letting us know through your online account. To change DLIs, you need to apply for a new study permit.
How to change your school as a post-secondary student
Starting November 8, 2024, you need to apply for a new study permit to change your school at the post-secondary level.
The school you plan to change to must also be a DLI. Before committing to changing schools and applying for a new study permit, make sure to check that your new school is
- on the DLI list and
- not on the suspension list
In addition, if you are in a co-op program and are changing to a co-op program at a different school, you must apply for a new co-op work permit.
