Actually these points perfectly sums up the process. This 2-stage process is around for PR application long enough to know what the process is. This a fancy name of AORs that used to happen before 5 6 years.. They used to send AORs (stage-1 approval) and than admissibility and authenticity of all other documents, they just renamed it to two stage process. It is not something that they brewed up recently for this covid19 processing. This is in fact should have been the process for the Study Permit as well and I am sure that many embassies around the world WILL follow exactly the same. When the eligibility is approved, there's no reason to refuse on the basis of that the student is not going to leave the country. That was already dealt in Stage-1.
