Hi,
I applied for PR through EE / CEC. I currently live and work in Montreal, Quebec, and my work permit is valid until Jan 2020. I understand that it is a requirement to leave Quebec to be eligible for this PR application.
In my PR application, I attached a "letter of intent" and explained that I have not made any arrangements to live in Quebec beyond my current work permit end date (Jan 2020), and have been applying extensively for jobs outside Quebec in all other provinces. I even provided links and references to the jobs I have applied to, and mentioned that I hope to hear back from these jobs in the next few months.
I also explained if I don't find a job and I am contacted by IRCC regarding my intention to leave Quebec, I am willing and ready to leave Quebec immediately. But until a decision for my PR is not given to me, my status in Canada is tied to my current "employer-specific (closed) work permit" in Quebec. So I cannot leave Quebec, unless I find a new status.
Do you think this might convince the immigration officer? What are your recommendations for me in this situation?
Thank you in advance for your advice.
