No, choosing Project Management instead of Computer Science will not negatively affect your chances of getting a study permit or permanent residency (PR) in Canada.

Both fields are recognized by Canadian immigration and education authorities. Study permit approval depends mainly on your admission to a Designated Learning Institution (DLI), proof of funds, and intent to study - not the specific program. For PR, your overall profile - education, work experience, and language skills - matters more than your choice between these two fields.

Your work experience and how well your background aligns with your chosen program will be more important for both visa and PR outcomes.
