1. Can I leave Canada while waiting for my PR to get approved? 2. Is it possible that I pursue full-time graduate studies abroad while waiting for PR?

Can I leave Canada (for brief visits/travel) while waiting for my PR to get approved? For how long can I temporarily leave Canada without affecting my PR approval? 2. Is it possible that I pursue full-time graduate studies in abroad before my PR gets approved, or even after my PR gets approved? If I study abroad as a PR of Canada, will that affect my ability to apply for citizenship? Thank you.

Generally you can leave Canada for as long as you want while waiting for PR to be approved. However it also depends under which program you apply.

Yes, you can pursue studies outside of Canada before or after getting PR.

Yes, studying outside Canada after you get PR will have an impact on citizenship. Specifically, it will delay your ability to apply for Canadian citizenship.
