Changes of school or program

Changing a Canadian school or study program? Value Visa reviews your study permit conditions, new admission and next application steps.

Planning your application

Moving to another institution or program can affect your immigration plan as well as your education. A new offer of admission should be considered alongside your permit conditions, study history and longer-term plans before you make the change.

How Value Visa can help

We review the old and new programs, identify the immigration steps that need attention and help you document why the change makes sense. If post-graduation work is part of your plan, raise it during the review rather than assuming every program leads to the same options.

Your review is specific to your circumstances. We explain the proposed work and confirm fees in writing before beginning. Government fees are separate.

Documents to discuss

Bring the records you already have to the consultation. This starting list does not replace the personalized checklist for your application.

  • Current permit and original admission documents
  • New offer of admission
  • Transcripts and enrolment history
  • Proposed transfer dates and reasons for the change

For the initial inquiry, describe your situation and deadlines. Ask us how to share sensitive documents before emailing identity or financial records.

Current official guidance

Requirements, fees and processing information can change. Use the official instructions alongside advice about your own circumstances.

Frequently asked questions

Can I change institutions without checking my permit?

Do not assume so. School-change requirements can change, and the right process depends on your situation. Review the current IRCC instructions before transferring.

What will a consultation cover?

We discuss your goal, immigration history and the documents available, identify questions that need further review and explain the scope of assistance. Fees are confirmed in writing before work begins; government fees are separate.

Can Value Visa guarantee approval or a processing date?

No. IRCC makes immigration decisions, and processing times can change. We help prepare a complete, consistent application and explain the next steps without promising an outcome.
