'unreasonable demand' is the definition.
'imposition' can be an answer for 'demand' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'unreasonable' bit.

'i am to have status' is the wordplay.
'i am' becomes 'I'm' (contraction).
'to have' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'status' becomes 'position' (synonyms).
'im'+'position'='IMPOSITION'

'that' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for imposition that I've seen before include "Unwelcome demand or burden" , "tax" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
