Hi All, If a person applied for Permanent Residence under the OINP PNP Masters Graduate Stream from Ontario, Canada and the application is currently under processing. The applicant has already received AOR and a biometrics (fingerprints) payment request.

The person is currently outside Canada and understands that once PR is approved, their work permit will be cancelled and PR status will replace it.

The question is:

If PR is approved while the applicant is outside Canada, can the person receive their PR card outside Canada, even though the application was submitted from within Ontario?
Alternatively, will the applicant need to return to Canada first to receive the PR card, or apply for a PR Travel Document (PRTD) to re-enter Canada?

Has anyone experienced a similar situation under OINP (Masters Stream) or inland PR applications?

Any clarification or real-life experiences would be appreciated!
