Transition between levels of study (primary, secondary and post-secondary)
As of April 11, 2019, students transitioning between levels of study (primary, secondary and post-secondary) are no longer required to apply for a new study permit, provided their current study permit is still valid.
Dual-credit programs
Students do not need to change their study permit when participating in a dual-credit program if they have both of the following:
a valid study permit authorizing them to attend any secondary school
registered and enrolled at only a secondary school.
Changing post-secondary institutions
Students engaging in post-secondary studies in Canada may transfer between institutions (both public and private) or change their course or program of study without applying for a change to the condition of their study permit, as long as the receiving institution is a DLI. Students attending a DLI may not transfer to a non-DLI.
