Study Permit while waiting for AIP - out of status

[Sahmet]

Hi everyone,
Summary:
I am currently out of status. We submitted our spousal sponsorship application on April 12, 2018 (i was one day out of status, restoration of status was not an option in my case).
I've just receive a medical request and passed the test.
I got accepted into a Masters program, but I need a study permit for this.
I understand that according IRCC I need an approval in principal to apply for study permit in Canada.

I wonder what are my chances to success in getting study permit? Have any of you been in a similar situation?

Why wasn't restoration of status an option? I guess it doesn't matter now - I'm not too sure of your chances since you're not in status and IRCC says you need at least AIP to get a study permit.

You can't apply for a study permit while out of status in Canada. You'll have to wait until you have status in Canada again before you apply. If you submit a study permit now, it will be refused.

You've gotten good advice on the study permit front, so I'll focus on the master's program part. Since it appears as though you won't be able to study right away, it might be useful to check if you can defer your enrollment for a year. I'm only familiar with the U.S. context, but what I know from there is that some graduate programs do offer year deferments. Contact your program's coordinator to see what they say.
