What will happen if I choose to leave my nominated province after 1.5yrs living in QC to find a job in another province after that.
1. Can I relocate after 1.5 yrs?
2. Is my Citizenship application effected or refused if I apply from another province later?

No, your application for Citizenship wouldn’t be refused if you’d move out of Quebec. That being said, I would keep copies of job searches you did in QC, and anything related to your new employer out of province

Thank you so much!!!
How can I defend legally any comments from the immigration officer for citizenship on making any claims/query up on my citizen application?
I am very concerned.
 
Also, I have signed the intention to reside in province document.
And, I read somewhere on internet that it means I have I mislead and can face deportation. Is this correct?
Did anyone heard any such news before?

Read less. You'll be fine. Any intentions signed in ink or blood remain intentions. Life, however, throws in reality that sometimes contradicts one's intentions. So when you signed it you had the intention to stay in QC (unless.proven otherwise), then your.intentions changed, because life isn't static. Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms can't state it more bluntly:
(2) Every citizen of Canada and every person who has the status of a permanent resident of Canada has the right:

  1. to move to and take up residence in any province; and
  2. to pursue the gaining of a livelihood in any province.

Hey Lex2019, as you have mentioned the Charter lines which says "Every citizen of Canada" but the OP is not a Canadian Citizen yet, he is a permanent resident.
 
As others mentioned, the Charter of Rights applies to Permanent Residents as for Citizens. The only 2 things you cannot do as a PR is to vote or apply for a Canadian passport.
Other than that, the PNP program is a provincial matter, while citizenship is a federal matter, so there’s that also.
Unless someone else corrects me, there shouldn’t be a problem to apply for your citizenship.

Very well said. Once a PR, you have the right to freedom of movement and can work, live and study anywhere in Canada.

Hi hope you guys can help me , i wanted to apply for citizenship but my fear is i have this misrepresentation when i apply for PR which is i didnt declare my son from previous relationship on my application because i didnt know that its gonna be a big deal after . Is there gonna be a problem if i continue my application? Thanks

Definitely a misrepresentation if you did not declare a child when you became PR. Talk to a lawyer before submitting your application for Citizenship, I don’t think anyone can help you on this forum.

Thank you for the clarification. This makes a lot of sense.
