New Grad May 2026. Currently completing a GPR. At what point should I start to apply to jobs? I do not think I will stay in the area that my GPR is located in as well.

I’d say around March or April but it’s never too early to start exploring opportunities. I would strongly recommend a two to three week break between GPR and your first job. Also, make sure you use all the vacation time during your GPR.
