    Asking for a friend (PGWP Holder)

    I assume you are asking about a new work permit? If so, then to the best of my knowledge this application would need to be submitted as an outside of Canada application.

    approved at the hearing, only to have their PR application rejected later?

    It is possible if some sort of security issue or misrepresentation is identified during the PR process that wasn't identified during the claim. It's rare but it does happen.

    Start up - Businesses

    unemployed while waiting for PR processing.. a question

    IMO the risk you are running is that IRCC will say he no longer has a job offer given you've had to suspend employment. If IRCC decides he no longer has a valid job offer, I expect this would impact PR being granted.
