Can I travel back to my home country (India) after applying for Canadian PR inland through PNP?

Hello everyone,

I hope you are doing well.

I am facing this dilemma for a long time now, I am a recent graduate from a university in Ontario, and have been facing trouble getting a job for several months now. Meanwhile, I applied for my Canadian PR inland through PNP (non-express entry) through Ontario Immigration Nomination Program (OINP)'s Masters Graduate Stream which does not require a job offer or work experience. I applied for the PR in the month of November 2023 and received AoR and finished biometrics in the month of February 2024.

What I am wondering is that will it be okay for me to travel back to India for a considerable amount of time while my PR is being processed? When will I be required to land back in Canada after I receive the Portal 1 email? Will I be considered an outland applicant by travelling back to India?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply, once my PR is approved, will I have to return to Canada immediately?

Yes once you get PR approved, they will issue you a COPR and then you have to land Canada before expiry date of that COPR .
