So, basically you intend to lie to the province about your intention to settle in Saskatchewan if they nominate you for PR? This is actually misrepresentation.

Well yes you can legally move to any other province but it's a just a matter of morality.
This province nominated you as they need you. If I were you I'd just stay there for some time exploring around and maybe finally decide to move somewhere else.

While that is correct, it's still misrepresentation to lie in your PNP and PR application in order to gain immigration status. The province or IRCC could in theory chase you for this and IRCC revoke your Permanent Resident status for intentional fraud.

Intentional fraud is when you "intentionally commit a fraudulent act".

You aren't a PR. You are a foreign national intending to lie in an immigration application about settling in Saskatchewan in order to gain PR status. That's fraud.

I was an international student at the time he moved. So i finished my school got a job here and processed nomination until i get my PR. Now my bf is asking me to move and live with him in alberta.

Yes. This is a kind of misrepresentation.

The information above is unfortunately untrue.

The Federal Government and the Provincial Government are both well aware of the nominees moving to different provinces, they even conducted a study on the retention rates of PNP nominees: https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/documents/pdf/english/evaluation/e1-2015-pnp-en.pdf

Here's the help section from the IRCC website:
I am a new permanent resident in Canada. Can I live somewhere other than the “city of destination” on my Confirmation of Permanent Residence?
Yes, you can. As a permanent resident, you have the right to live, work or study anywhere in Canada.
However, if you became a permanent resident through the Provincial Nominee Program, the province that nominated you has chosen you to bring skills to their province.

It does not explicitly indicated that moving to a different province could result in misrepresentation or even revoking your PR status.

When it comes to misrepresentation, it will definitely bring up red flags when you have no intentions at all BEFORE you arrive in your province of destination. For example, if you buy a house in BC when you are a Manitoba PNP nominee before you validating your CoPR, the officers therefore will play the role of doing the final assessment of your intention when you are validating your CoPR at the port of entry or IRCC office. Once your CoPR is validated, the intention no longer applies to you as your PR status is protected by the Charter of Human Rights including your Mobility Rights. Thus, residing in your nominated province is merely depends on your morality.

Intentions change, life changes, and we cannot predict what will happen next. For PNP nominees, we should try our best to live in the nominated provinces before and after coming to the nominated province. But if life changes, we are able to move anywhere.

Here's the website that is helpful as well: https://www.immigration.ca/provincial-immigrants-free-to-move-anywhere-in-canada

It is more like a moral commitment

No. I watched an interview with a lawyer about this and no.

IRCC can do nothing. You sign a document that says that your intention is to stay in the province. It can change anytime after you become a PR. It is illegal for them to revoke your PR status due to change in province.
