Becoming a PR while still at School

[cr11sh]

Hi everyone,

I am an international student currently in the middle of my Bachelor's degree in Canada.
If my status changes and I become a PR while studying, will I still be considered an international student at my school till I graduate (since I joined as an international student)?
Can I change my status from international student to domestic while studying?

Would really appreciate any help,
Thank you

you probably need to start by asking the question to the college/ university as they are the organisation charging the international fees not CIC.

@Bs65: Thanks for the reply. Yeah, that's my plan too. But before that I wanted to know if anyone else in the community experienced anything like that.
Thanks again.

Yes, your status will be changed to a Canadian PR and you'll no longer pay the international student fees. However if you already paid the fees for the semester (as an intl student), you don't get your money back. You are eligible to pay the domestic fees starting the next semester. This is what I know for most universities but you may want to check with yours.
