But PIPEDA definitely applies to this situation, but PIPEDA only came into effect on April 2020 so it would depend upon when you were a student.

Depends on province, you might be covered under a provincial regulation. PIPEDA takes effect if your province doesn't have a substantially similar law. PIPEDA came into effect in 2000.
