Okay. Good.

If I was in your position, I would certainly write another letter (to be on safe side) highlighting -
- Efforts that you are making to physically move out of Quebec : Searching for houses and making a final move once PR comes through.
- Looking for jobs in ON

You can add in more if you find them plausible.

All the best

Oh thanks again, I will do that.

Thanks for your reply, I do not have a csq as it is very difficult to get one after recent changes to Quebec immigration program. I have been looking for jobs, apartments in ON, but I do not have any lease document as of now.
I did not write any letter to emphasize my intention to move to ON with express entry application(but I did while applying for ON provincial nomination).
Do I need to take a lease agreement with a future date (not sure by when we will get PR in these COVID times) ?

You don't necessarily have to wait for IRCC to request proof of intention to leave QC. In most cases in this forum, candidates submitted an LOE upfront, along with required documents or through a webform.

Since you accepted your NOI from OINP, it shows that you're aware that you have to move and settle in ON for a certain amount of time. This might be enough proof for the VO agent, but it doesn't hurt to add more (i.e, search of an apartment, job applications, etc.), especially you have ties in QC (job, studies, family and children, house, etc.)

I am in the same situation.

 

[Aman1212]

I am in the same situation.

@Daven1209 have you received ITA ?

 

[Daven1209]

yes. I am thinking to provide intent letter in additional documents section. Does that work? I can submit my Ontario lease.

you already shifted to Ontario ? i guess that will work but again depend on immigration officer its 50-50 chance

 

[Daven1209]

Yes..I have seen approval for people who have moved to Ontario, though their work location is Montreal. Any suggestions?

i have couple of cases who never left quebec and they got there PR but those two are known to me may be there are others also and there may rejections also which i don't know . I will say we can take up the risk until its not going to ban us from applying PR for misinterpretation .

Hi,

I have been on Closed WP and applied for PR last April. I submitted LOE with the application but still got two PFLs.

Mine was a unique case though I have submitted solid proofs each time. Still, VO did all cross-checking and tried his best to make me resign. I didn't and moved to a city in ON which is commutable to Montreal.


I got my PR last September and still working for the same QC employer while living in ON.

Can you please share what proofs you submitted in LoE and then later in PFL?

 

[Usmz]

LOE (submitted in the additional documents section)

Proofs:
Job applications submitted in Toronto and Vancouver
Email conversations with prospective employers(some even mentioned they want to hire if I get PR as they don't deal with WP)
Interview confirmation
Previous Vancouver employer offer to rejoin( They offered as soon as I moved to QC and it was unethical to waste my QC employer's time and money they spent on arranging WP and relocation cost)
I mentioned how it's difficult for my family to integrate without French and other issues and how willing I am to move as its a contractual job so feasible to move at end of contract depending on the job offer

1st PFL ( VO gave 7 days to show in black and white that I am moving by end of certain month)

Tenancy agreement for a year-I arranged a tenancy agreement in city close to the Ontario -Quebec border.
First and last month cheques,
New cell phone number,
Private health insurance as ON doesn't cover QC closed WP holders,
Online school registration
New Job applications and interviews after 1st PFL,
Cancellation of tenancy in Montreal,
Cancellation of Hydro QC and internet service providers
Notarized letter

2nd PFL( Again 7 days and Vo specifically asked for my resignation letter, new job offer letter, payslips, and bank statements)
Letter but not notarized. Clearly stated that I won't resign a good paying job when I am on closed WP and I never mentioned in any letters that I will resign before getting a job offer.
ON driver's license,
Car registration in ON,
Bank statements showing ON address
Contract extension letter for the next 6 months,
An admission confirmation email from School's HR,
Payslips
Job application proofs that I had after 1st PFL response

Thanks a lot for sharing. This is too much to ask for. I am planning to put my lease, Ontario License bank statement and utility bills in LOE itself. So as to avoid later PFL

Yes, if you are moving then do attach all these. I had no plans to leave QC unless PR sorted . I didn't expect PFL after LOE where VO is categorically asking to show proofs of moving out. My company's immigration lawyer even finds VO unreasonable.

Hello guys,

I am planning to apply for EE under CEC. I have a valid LMIA till June 2021 for a QC based employer. I moved to Ontario last month and am continuing working remotely. I should also not have any issue getting a renewed job offer from my company, specifically stating that my position will be fully remote even after I get my PR. My question is can I claim 50 points for a valid job offer under CRS? Since I am actually residing outside Quebec, the VO should hopefully not mind me working for a QC employer. I am sitting at 465 points right now, and I don't see cut offs reaching to that level. What's the probability of me getting rejected because of those 50 points? Thanks a lot for all the help guys!
