I believe you can just submit to Vegreville with the required documents and include a cover letter explaining you have applied for PR and attach the PR payment receipt as proof.

That was what my immigration consultant at work recommended when we were considering submitting separately but in the end we went with submitting at the same time.

What is your status in Canada?

Yes I'm about to graduate.
Then I suggest you apply for a PGWP when you finish your studies instead. The inland OWP takes around 4 months to be issued and you will not be allowed to work during that time.
