Here's a few informational links that you may want to check out. They come from the University of Binghamton in New York, which has a lot of good information on-line:

I've heard mixed reviews about the process, but this is the best web-based info. I could find on routing yourself through Canada:

As a change of status application from within the U.S., it can take a very long time, as change of status applications to F-1 aren't currently a high priority for INS (as far as I've heard). Your int'l. student advisor should be able to help you with the application, though, and may have a better sense of the length of time involved.

Best wishes with that.
