Hello

I'm a permanent resident(from 2008) and just got my PRTD approved and i'm planning to return to Canada to study University and Live there.

I finished high school in my home country last year and i dont have any Canadian education .

Do I need to do any English test in order to graduate University or my home country high school diploma will be enough ?

Thank you

You say “in order to graduate University” so what do you mean? Do you mean IELTS to study in University? If so, look at admission requirements for your school and contact them.

I meant to study university
Will I get treated like any international student or like a resident of Canada?

The resident status is for tuition purposes not for entry requirements to a particular course.
Unless you can claim exemption for English scores, you will have to provide the Academic IELTS for an admission to a University.

I applied for PRTD on H&C Ground, removed as a minor case and It is approved and I have recently received PRTD RC-1 Category stamp on my passport.
I applied as an International student in OntarioTech University and got accepted. Now, as I have received my PR-TD, I emailed my University asking to change my status from International student to domestic student.
I attached following documents in that email :
1. Passport (New, with PR-TD stamp)
2. Passport (Old)
3. PR Card (Expired in 2013)
4. PR-TD Stamp ( alone)
5. CoPR (expired in 2013)
6. SIN Card
7. Health Card ( expired in 2012 )
Now the university emailed me back saying that they wont consider the expired documentation to change my status to domestic student.

However on the universities official website it is stated that,
Eligibility for domestic fees :
  • A person who has been granted permanent resident status in Canada within the meaning of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
Please suggest what should I do ?

Thanks in advance.

I believe you have confused them with excess documentation. They looked at your CoPR (which would ofcourse be expired) and they decided that you are having an expired PR document. You need to just send them Passport scan and a copy of PR-TD stamp in a separate file. Also attach a copy of IRPA highlighting portion that tells that you are a genuine PR.
