hello guys, so i have applied from bangladesh via VFS global (paper application) on 16th of March for a study permit for may intake.
received biometrics and medical update on 17th of may and no update after that on my GC account portal.
last week i raised an webform inquiring about the latest status of my visa apllication, made post about that earlier. see link below:

https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/visa-update-through-webform.693722/

today i received an email stating "your application to study in Canada has now been approved in-principle" (see screenshot attached)
however, it also states that "Your application will be reviewed for a final assessment and your passport will be returned to you as soon as the Visa Application Centre (VAC) in Bangladesh reopens."

i am a little confused about what exactly it means by "approved in-principle" and "Your application will be reviewed for a final assessment".
i guess what i am trying to understand is if it's approved by any means why does it require a final assessment? what will be that final assessment be based upon?
do leave your thoughts if possible.

PS: my gc portal still shows review of eligibility and background check being processed and still overdue a final decision.
