Yes, international students can change majors at most Canadian universities, but there are important points to consider:

1. University Policies

Each university in Canada has its own rules and procedures for changing majors. Some programs (like Engineering, Business, or Health Sciences) may have limited spots and stricter requirements for transferring.

2. Academic Performance

You may need to meet specific GPA or prerequisite course requirements to switch to certain programs.

3. Application Process

Usually, you need to submit an internal transfer application, academic transcripts, and sometimes a statement of purpose.

4. Visa Implications

Changing majors typically does not affect your study permit as long as you remain enrolled full-time at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI). However, if your new program is significantly different or leads to a different level of study (e.g., switching from a diploma to a degree), you may need to inform Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

5. Time and Financial Considerations

- Changing majors may extend the duration of your studies, which could increase your tuition and living expenses.
- You might need to take additional prerequisite courses.

6. Advising Support

It’s strongly recommended to speak with an academic advisor at your university before making the change. They can guide you through the process and help you understand the implications.
