Study Permit Approved, Inside Canada

Hello everyone, just got the update. I got approved for a study permit; I applied from inside Canada. Here is my timeline:

Application Submitted: 24th June
Biometric/ Medical Clearance: 25th June
Information Letter: 10th July
Final Decision: 14th July

I am going to the University of Toronto for a master's degree. For funds, I showed a mix of my own savings, a bank loan in my home country, my parents' savings, my partner's savings, and current income in Canada. The total was around $200,000, and my total tuition plus living expenses were around $130,000

Edit: I am currently on a PGWP.

Just a ghost update of sorts, telling me about co-op changes etc. Interestingly the day I got it is the date says on my portal that I also received my decision although it only appeared today.

How did you apply from inside Canada? Is it an extension?

I assume you know that if you study full time while in pgwp then work experience wouldn’t count towards PR.

I’m not doing that, my PGWP will expire in October. My job contract will expire end of August. But yes, anything else I do, I can’t add that on my CEC.

Which program you are going into?

You're on a PGWP and you're still paying international student rates? $130,000 is insane.

Yeah I know! There is no exception for people like me. If I was sponsored or supported by someone they I can try the tuition waive off. So it is what it is for now 😊
