Query: Study Permit to PR Pathway

[gwfj]

Hi,

I wanted to get feedback from the community on whether my plan below is feasible;

1. Prior details; I work as a Software Developer and plan to have my wife and child accompany me.
2. I've been accepted for the MDSA program at the University of Calgary (Fall 2022 - 1 Year fulltime).
3. Previously, I had an express entry score of 443 but have since withdrawn this due to no FSW draws.
4. Once I complete my study and receive my transcript I will look for work and simultaneously apply for 1 year PGWP (within the 180 day limit).
5. Once submitted, I will be on Implied Status till the PGWP application results come through.
6. Immediately after submitting my PGWP application, I will also create an express entry profile (my points will go up with the Canadian qualification and we of course need to have fresh IELTS).
7. Using the new EE profile, I will then apply (using AAIP portal) for the Accelerated Tech Pathway Provincial Nomination for Alberta (minimum score of 300).
8. If I'm lucky, then I get an ITA and then subsequently nomination for PR within the Implied Status or PGWP period (if accepted that is)

Is this pathway too risky for PR? Am I missing something important? Is this not a good time for the student -> PR pathway?

OR... should I wait for next year and take up the Australian Aid Scholarship (awarded) for Masters in Data Science (2 Years Fulltime at Uni Melbourne) in January next year with no chance of PR after?

I have two options; one path with a lot of risks for 1 year and tuition out of my pocket (Canada) or take up the scholarship (Australia) and try PR Canada later (almost hitting 30 so EE points might go down).

Need help.

Thanks
