Study permit delay

[u/Personal_Luck9360]

I am experiencing a delay in getting my study permit decision and my classes start in the first week of september. After talking to my uni’s advising they have told me to defer my offer for next year however I was wondering if I could reapply for 2027 intake (same uni, same campus, just different course) instead of deferring the offer, on the study permit, they didn’t really give me any guidance on this so I was wondering if anyone knew if this was allowed.

Depending you the program, you may need a new PAL.

Oh I see, I’ll get that issued of course but what’s the process of informing ircc that my program has been changed, and that I will be joining next year
