My study permit expires in August, would it safe for me to return around April in this case?

Did some googling around, and it appears that while the not recording exit dates was true in the past, I'm reading some forum posts that they're actually collected by the CBSA electronically through the airlines now? Yes, it's more like writing a research project report and submitting it at the...

Maybe I should have been more descriptive, the only course I'm enrolled in is a research course, where I work directly with a professor. I meet him online anyways once per week, and he's completely fine with me travelling cause it makes no difference since all the work related to research is...

How exactly are IRCC and schools monitoring this? There is no record of attendance in my grad classes, the university only sees the enrolment and grades from their end... Logistically, I think @Naturgrl 's point about knowing entry and exit dates is the only way....

Well, in my case, since it's the professors themselves who've allowed this, even the university would not know... it's an in-person class that just happens to be done online with permission. For the point a, do they really check entry and exit dates when applying for a PGWP?

For PGWP eligibility, more than 50% of the classes have to be in-person and also in Canada. I only have one research class this term as it's my final semester, and the professors have the option to do it online. If I travel to my home country for 2 months and come back at the ending of the term...

Yup, it was, also looks like I received it yesterday.

It is a biometric validity letter, i think. Applied around 1 month ago.

Is receiving a correspondence letter a good or bad sign?

Was yours a sowp or a singular application?

I think it's regular days, but someone else can probably confirm. Also, I remember it was 60 days processing time a few weeks ago. So it's fluctuating a bit. What kind of course have you applied for and is it at a university?

Was it a SOWP or an individual application?

What exactly was the reason? The insufficient proof of funds makes sense, but why would they mention "not working in Canada" as a reason? Can you clearly specify what was written in your refusal? Also, how long did it take for you to get a decision? I think depending on that, you could try again.
