Convention refugee and college applications

[Moe_C]

Hello

I'm a convention refugee, got accepted 3 months ago, still no PR obviously. From my understanding is that we're considered domestic students after being accepted.
I made sure to talk to the admission team at George Brown before applying. And they confirmed i'm domestic.

Just got this reply from them after waiting for my application to be processed

"Unfortunately we cannot process your application for the C112 - Personal Support Worker Program as you do not qualify as a domestic student. My suggestion would be to re-apply for this program once you have received your PR OR select a program offered to international students: https://www.georgebrown.ca/programs/program-availability?year=2020&availability=international "


Is there a difference between being a domestic and not qualifying as a domestic student?

You have to apply as an international student and request domestic fees rather than applying as a domestic student, To my understanding you'll be considered as an international student until you get the PR. I applied to university with no problem.

The problem is, i did contact the admission team before applying and they confirmed I'm domestic and should apply as one. I have their email confirming that. They didn't instruct me to apply as an international. Such a waste of time and money.
