I think for me it was more conditional, I def think its do-able, it was just my current life circumstance- mix of relocating and workload increase which did not allow me to focus on the course from Dec 2017- now. However things have not settled and I will resume the course, and if needed Ill get an extension as someone so kindly informed me of this option.
Its alot of money so I would suggest waiting to hear from Laurier. Its nice they gave you the option to start at the time of acceptance, for my UFT application they asked for proof that I was enrolled and started the course in order to even have my application considered so I had to start early on because of that .
