I am not in Canada yet. My study permit was approved shortly after the March 18 deadline so I can't enter Canada directly from my current country of residence. (Hong Kong).

As anyone who comes from the US, including foreign nationals does not have to adhere to this deadline I wonder what "coming from the US" exactly means. If CBSA wanted to mean "anyone who holds US residence status, permanent or temporary" they would surely have said so. Hence I wonder whether I might be able to enter Canada by going through the US as European citizen and HK resident. I do meet the "essential travel" requirement so my last hurdle is to get around this dreaded March 18 study permit deadline requirement.

Yeah I understand. IRCC becomes a mess nowadays in such a way that holding the decision or even do nothing updates for students. Good luck since you are already settled in Canada during this hardship time.
