An applicant's study permit reached the passport request (PPR) stage, but around the same time the college revoked the original offer letter, citing unavailable seats for the intended intake — leaving the family unsure whether to push the college to honor the seat, ask for a deferral, or switch to a different college.
What the thread suggested:- Applying to a different, reputable college for the next intake is a reasonable fallback if the original college can't accommodate the offer.
- Requesting a deferral to a later intake (e.g., the next available term) and providing proof of your visa progress (the PPR) to the college was also suggested as an option, since it shows a genuine, active application in progress.
- The thread didn't clearly resolve which of the two options is better — it largely surfaces both paths (deferral vs. new college) without a strong consensus, so this is a case where contacting the college directly and an education consultant/lawyer for your specific situation is worthwhile.
The practical takeaway: if your college offer is revoked after reaching PPR stage, know that both deferring at the same college and applying elsewhere are viable options members considered — there's no single right answer here, so weigh which path better protects your visa progress and communicate proactively with the college about your PPR status.
