I am planning on applying for PNP once I get my eProfile created. For my NOC code- 4166, if a province does invite me, and I get a remote job (common in my field), can I live in a difference province while working for a company in the province that invited me?

You need to intend to settle in the province that nominated you. If you immediately move to a different province you could be investigated for possible misrepresentation.

As said above, PNP requires you to demonstrate an intent to settle in the province that nominated you. So the short answer to your question is no. You need to live in the province that nominated you while PR is processed or you'll be at high risk for refusal. Once you are officially a PR, you can live wherever you want to.

If your job is remote and you can live anywhere, then you should have no trouble living in the province that nominated you.
