Hello everyone,

A few months ago I applied for a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) based on H&C grounds because I left Canada when I was 1 year old, and got my passport stamped with a PRTD category RC-1.
My question is, Am I now considered a permanent resident and can I apply to universities as a domestic student? I have my IMM 1000 and my PRTD ready to go to Canada when I get accepted.

Note that I do not have a permanent resident card yet.

If I can't prove my permanent resident status without a PR Card, can I apply for one as soon as I arrive in Canada or do I have to wait for 2 years before applying? And how long will it take to process my PR Card if I can get one?

Thank you for your help.
