Hello,
If elastics are put in lower canine and upper molar, then is it ok if arch wire on lower teeth is not changed for couple of months. Just wanted opinion on this.
Thanks.

A clinical picture will help to assess better , though leaving it for months will delay the treatment that it...it should not bother much
But I would recommend to see your orthodontist as it depends and very case to case

Yes it’s completely fine. Not an issue. Don’t worry! It depends on which wire is currently there and depends on case to case. Consult your treating Orthodontist if you have any doubts.
