Also, my ppr was generated over a month and a half ago but the status on GCMS notes says "not started"
and it was also due over a month and a half ago. So now, I'm just waiting.

Most people usually mention that it is cheaper in Canada in terms of tuition and rent. Like significantly cheaper (6,000 USD in Canada vs 20,000 USD in US)

Interesting! Happy landing. I share similar profile with you: spouse on OWP, 2kids on Visitor Visa, third kid is a U.S citizen(no need for Visitor Visa). We had our passports stamped and returned on 11th December,2020.Will Start online class in January, and land in May after the Online Class.
What was tour status in the USA; F1 (OPT,STEM OPT, regular F1 student), H1B or H4 visa holder?
