Leaving your employer after receiving permanent residency (PR) received in 2022 in Moncton NB through the Atlantic International Graduate Program generally does it impact my eligibility for Canadian citizenship.
The Atlantic International Graduate Program does have a requirement to stay with your employer after getting PR approval ? In job offer letter job was valid after pr as well. I left employer right after my pr changed province after 2 months had pr card in hand. Does the officer digs deep researches via which program i got my pr and what are the rules of that particular PR program if followed or not even after getting pr the rules had been followed or not on my ECOPR it is written under category (AIG) Atlantic international graduate i will be applying citizenship though i meet obligation for citizenship 3 year presence and tax filing. Am worried if officer searches something from the initial period when i applied pr how i got pr and what were rules of that program or they only checks if obligation is met after pr. Will there be any problem in applying of citizenship grant

Nope, almost everyone who received PR in New Brunswick left immediately. They successfully got citizenships.

No the above should not have bearing on your citizenship application

They are trying to find a way to ensure people do not do this so would encourage people to remain in the province where they get PNP and at least prove they have made an effort to remain in the nominating province. What may have been no problem in the past does not mean it will continue not being an issue. Due to freedom of movement of a PR IRCC would have to likely have to prove that you misrepresented your intention to live in a certain province. People are not tied to a province for life but people leaving the province defeats the purpose of PNP programs so IRCC has mentioned in some document that I read that they are exploring how to address this.

If I have the time I will look. It was mentioned of an area of concern that was being looked into. It has been a concern for a long time and as PNP quotas tighten and as Canada tries to encourage newcomers from congregating in a few large centres I assume there will be more attempts to try to make sure those getting PR through a province remain in the province for a period of time. The current system often defeats the PNP system and provinces attempting to address labour needs. We have already seen provinces tighten their PNP programs with more emphasis on longterm establishment in the province. Also seen some changes in RCIP which will lead to mostly those already established in the city getting selected. We are already seeing IRCC being much more strict about immigration and I would suspect this will continue if not get worse.

You're right. But people do it all the time. The best case scenario is to stay for at least 6 months after "landing" in my opinion, however oftentimes immigrants go directly to another province.
I received a phone call immediately after my citizenship application was submitted, they introduced themselves as survey company and asked me where I'm living and do I still work with an employer I applied with.
