Hello everyone !

I am really lost on the "legal status" and I want to be sure not to do a mistake so close from PR!

My background :

December 2016 (until august 2017) : intership visa, CEC
September 2017 : back to France
October 2017 to October 2019 : back to Canada, young professionnal visa (linked to my job), CEC
October 2019 : apply for PR, CEC

PR : I am will be at 5 months on march 24, IP2 was on march 10 or 11 (eligibility and criminality passed, security not started), visa office Edmonton, I called yesterday nothing changed.

My problem is that I got accepted at university for september 2019. I still did not "accept" my "acceptation there" because as soon as I accept it I would be considered as a student... But I need to accept it soon to not loose it even if my class start only in september (to choose my schedules etc)

With my visa, I accept it, would I be in a illegal status ? Or I am ok until class start in september ?

I can't really apply for a student visa, I don't have enough funds to prove I will have enough money for the study. I am planning to do a loan once I get my residence...
I talk to agent and he told me : "as soon as the university starts you have to apply for study permit if you did not receive your PR not to be on illegal status" but does that mean it is fine to september ?

I am kind of lost on what I should do or not, please, does someone have some advices ?

I am sorry for my english, I know it's not the best, I work in french in Canada and I am working on it !

Thank you so much everyone !
