applying for CSQ after being granted PR

[johnmunch]

Is it possible to apply for CSQ or become a resident of Quebec after landing through FSW? Yes I know about the mobility rights. I am asking about official procedures to be done by the book.TIA

Possible that nobody knows the answer. This is an English language forum after all.

It is. Doesn't mean people have not switched provinces including Quebec.

As a PR, I think you have the right to move anywhere in Canada - I don't think you need permission to move to Quebec. The provincial issue is only relevant when you are applying to immigrate - Once you have landed - I think there are no restrictions except that you can't vote/or hold certain sensitive roles in government.

Because there's no such official procedure for it.

Ok, but can it realistically be interpreted as misrepresenting since no application to csq was was made prior to landing ie. That the applicant in fact had at the back of the head to immigrate to Quebec?

Sure, anyone can sue you if they wanted to, but in this case CIC is not going to care in the slightest primarily because

1) As a PR, you are entitled to certain rights under the Charter. One of those is to live anywhere in Canada. CIC has no chance in court so they won't bother.
2) Moving to and\or working in Quebec isn't nearly as bad as, say, abandoning your PNP province. Sure, it might annoy some Quebecois, but that's about the extent of the -ve impact this will have
3) CIC will get a bucket-load of bad PR for going after new immigrants for something as benign as this.

These are my opinions. I am, of course, not a lawyer.

I would agree with this. The CIC would need to prove that you intentionally wanted to live in QC and that was your plan all along if they wanted to legally strip you of your status. I've never heard of that happening and I doubt that it ever would.

Bumping up again. WHat if one gets PR, does soft landing outiside of Quebec, goes back to home country, applies to Quebec universities, comes back to Canada a few months before the start of the academic year, and begins her studies? Can that become an issue?

I know this an old thread, but answering in case someone is still trying to find an answer.
I moved to Canada 3 months ago, so I already have my PR status. As a PR you are entitled to live in Quebec. However, there a few you can't benefit from unless you have your CSQ.
I called MIDI and they said that I could actually get a CSQ if I send them a letter mentioning the reason why I need it, with a copy of my PR card.
No official form to fill or anything, just a letter. They said I should hear back from them in 20 working days, I'll update once I do.
