None of that happened yet. I have a week's time before a marker detects the cheating. Should I report it myself and be extra sorry? Would that work?

Yeah, you're going to have to grovel like hell and mean it. And yes, even then it may not work.
Academia is unforgiving. Except when you have tenure track; then you can do anything.

It is impossible to say if it will work or not. It is up to the discretion of your professor but I think it will definitely help if you own up before you get caught. Prepare to face repercussions though. The professor might give you an F or ask you to resit or even report you. But make your case as to why you cheated and show remorse. If you get F (and not get suspended) you can still qualify for PGWP
Yeah I was trying to do the exact same thing. Their disciplinary action files are available for public. I did study them thoroughly and a decent number of people get off the hook without suspension but grade penalty etc. People who show remorse, readily accept responsibility and had extra special conditions aren't suspended but given other penalties.
My current plan is:
1) Email my prof and tell them what I did. Show remorse etc and tell him my situation.
2) If he takes it to dean, I'll show him the same thing and plead really really hard.
(There is also a slight chance that they wouldn't find my cheating part and I'm being extra paranoid)
Thanks, I think I will own up to it. Getting a F is way better than suspension. And, yeah it works, I checked my uni's previous academic penalties record and those people who confess/readily admit are given less harsher punishments.
No one cares about your debt . It’s irrelevant
Someone could rob a bank because they are broke , debt ......
There are colleges here in Canada which gives to warning or zero for that assignment if it is the first mistake. Try to plead guilty and own it. You may get mere warning or zero for that exam/assignment if it is your first mistake. They will fail you if it is a repetitive. But may be it depends on the college. You should check for the academic conduct consequences with your faculty. There is a good chance that the first mistake may not result into suspension.
I think you are overthinking. Let this play out a bit and consult your academic advisor. There is no need to transfer schools over one F. You are thinking way too far ahead
I mean yeah. But I'm thinking about damage control for the worst case scenario. If I get suspended (god, I hope not), then what ways are there to save my PGWP eligibility?
I don't know how that would work in terms of the length of your PGWP. Should work. You'll want to make sure there's no break in your studies between your current school and new school.
