Can I get a student visa for a one-year PG certificate course in a relevant field and then change my field of study in Canada?

Yes, you can get a Canadian study permit for a one-year Post-Graduate (PG) certificate course in a relevant field, and later change your field of study.

If you decide to switch programs or fields, you must update your study permit. This involves applying to extend your permit before finishing your current course, submitting a new letter of acceptance from your new program, and providing a written explanation for the change.

You must remain enrolled full-time and follow all study permit conditions throughout the process. Immigration policies and processing times are subject to change.
