hey everyone, I apologize for another one of these, but I've googled and found so many different kinds of answers (mostly for PNP), that I'm not sure what to do- so I thought I'd ask here.
- Arrived to Canada and studied in Ontario 2017.
- Offered a job, moved and started working in Nova Scotia 2018.
- Switched jobs and the new workplace offered me AIPP PR in 2019. I agreed to it because it was simpler than Express Entry and I genuinely liked it in NS.
- Became a Permanent Resident under AIPP in July 2019.
- Continued working and residing in Nova Scotia to this date (June, 2022).
The problem is that despite all the work, I have been stagnating at my career- add to this there aren't many jobs of what I do here and really low wages because my employer knows they have no competition, I'm beginning to feel like its time to move on. I've given a good 4.5 years of my skills to the development of this province and lived in good faith here, but its time to consider what next.
I haven't accepted any job offer or made any plans to move yet, but I'm wondering what the process is to officially move. I can't really find any paperwork that needs to be filled. Also, at this point, I qualify for citizenship and is something I'm considering applying to this week. Will leaving the Atlantic, affect this citizenship process?
To anyone else considering the Atlantic reading this- Nova Scotia is great province. I admit I may have ruined it for myself by growing my career into a niche position for which I've left myself little growth within the current opportunities here. Anyways, the people here are really nice, the province is beautiful and housing is still somewhat affordable. This is a great province to settle down with your family, provided your career has opportunity/space here.
