No you don’t need to stay with your current employer, but it is very advisable to stay within the Atlantic provinces for at least 12 months. Where are you currently?
I am in Newfoundland and Labrador. Why it is advisable to stay within the Atlantic provinces for 12 month? could you please elaborate and help me?
Because that is the basis of your permanent residency. It's a provincial program, and your status depends on whether you intend to reside in that particular province who brings you in.
If you immediately move after you get your PR, government will look at it very suspiciously and it would be well within reason for them to think that you have committed fraud/misrepresentation.
Nobody can read your mind, and guess your intent, but actions speak, and very very loudly.
If it looks very obvious, based on your action, that you never intended to stay in the province, at least up to the day you land, then they may say it's fraud and start the revocation process.

Thank you so much for answering all my question! You are being very helpful. Now, I am confused little here, can at least switch my job or move to the better location within the province? If i have signed any legal contract with the employer would that matter or not? Cause i applied from different country via an agent, there are multiple layers and I am sure if I actually have signed any legal contract paper because those agents make you sign like 100's of paper and with the joy of migrating to Canada I just signed all the papers with paying attention. Do you know if that would matter even if i give my employer standard notice and quit the job and switch to another job?
Can you be more specific on which of the programs that you applied for?

My guess is, since the immigration process itself requires acquisition of a job, then it would be wise for you to stay in the job, lest they think that you have entered into the agreement in a bad faith, hence a ground for PR revocation.
If, say, after you have worked for the same employee for a year, and you feel that things have not worked out (or if they fire you), then obviously nobody can stop you from switching, but the initial intention to stay with the employer needs to be there, and your actions should reflect this accordingly.
