Okay so I came to in 2010 as a minor with a visitor visa accompanied by my mother. Long story short we stayed and I continued my secondary schooling here and living my life and so I was living in Canada for 6 years with no status . In 2016 I filed for refugee with legal aid then claimed my sexual orientation as bi sexual, I was denied in 2017 for lack in information and I appealed it and in Aug 2021 I was accepted and gain protected person status. I have not yet applied for my PR application and I am wondering if there is any consequences for waiting too long to apply. Also I came from Jamaica in 2010, would it be a problem for me to go back to Jamaica to visit after I get my PR status.
 
1. You can apply for permanent residence anytime after being notified by the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) or by IRCC that you are a Protected Person.

2. No, you cannot travel back to Jamaica. If you do so, you could jeopardize your PR status.
It is called Cessation order.
The CBSA can apply to have your protected person status stopped or “cessated” if you do something that shows that you don't need protection from Canada anymore. For example, you can lose your status if you return to Jamaica.
