Bruh, if that was true then where is AOR for me and other inland applicants? We are on the same boat.
@bestofluck: to have $1500 in spare is still not possible for all inland applicants, either. I can understand what you are feeling now. But think it this way, if this thing comes through you will come to canada, if not you are still at your place. For inland applicants, they have spent lot of money in fees, plus they are in Canada and paying taxes. If this thing doesn't get through for inland applicant, they need to pack all the stuff and go back home. I hope this might explain more without being rude.
