You can work anywhere in Canada but it is advisable that you find a job in the province that nominated you and move asap. Also when landing be sure to land in the province that nominated you.

If there is any restriction on where you can work it will be written on your new work permit.

Hi r1ley

Thank you for the reply, found this info on the CIC web site

Employment location

PNC

When a BOWP is being issued to an applicant for permanent residence under the PNC, the employment location on the work permit must be restricted to the nominating province. Therefore, the Province of destination value must be selected, followed by the City of destination value, to show the province or territory NES (not elsewhere stated), as in the following example:

Province of destination: AB
City of destination: Alberta NES
FSWC, FSTC, CEC and caregiver classes (caring for children class and caring for people with high medical needs class)

For a BOWP issued to FSWC, FSTC, CEC or caregiver classes applicants, there are no restrictions to employment location; therefore the Province of destination value must be set to “UNK” first, and then the City of destination value of “Unknown” can be selected as follows:

Province of destination: UNK
City of destination: Unknown
