Hello,

I am currently being sponsor by my wife within Canada. We sent my sponsorship application on July, 1, 2016 and got a letter from immigration this past January 1, 2017 for my medical report that they already received on February 10, 2017. We have hear no news at this point and just waiting. I came to Canada as a visitor and married my wife here in March 26, 2016. I got my work permit like 2 months ago and just currently working. I want to go to College on September, 2017 so this year. But, in what category do i apply? As a international student or Canadian immigrant ? I want to start my college application soon because the program i want to go to is very competitive and if i don't send the application soon, the program might get full soon. I think before september, 2017 I might get an answer from immigration but I am also worry about immigration denying my application. But, right now can I start my college application without knowing my immigration status ? would the college consider my application without my immigration statues in Canada? would they charge me international student fees or Canadian fees?

Until you're approved for PR, you're an international student and must apply for a study permit to go to school (for programs lasting longer than 6 months).

You can perhaps ask the school if they will allow you to pay domestic student fees based on having the PR app in progress, but really this is up to the school if they even consider it or not.
