I think for the first three months (more or less) after PR you should be in the province considered in your application
I know this is true for getting medical card.

after, you can always move with no problem, although you should get related licenses and the medical card of the new province.

for PR, there is no restriction to live.

one of the few Good bugs in the process. they don't have control over PRs

I've been reading these posts for a while and wanted to chime in with my timeline.

Category: QSW
Visa Office: CPP-Ottawa
(Buffalo transfer)
Appn filed: 16/06/2011
AOR: 25/10/2011
Med req: 01/11/2011 (and, therefore, expired :()
File transfer: 22/07/2012 (found out through my local MP)


For anyone interested, my country of origin is England, but I'm currently working in Montreal on a temporary work permit.

I didn't bother including my CSQ application information.
It's too depressing to think that I made that application in November 2010!
I'm not sure why my file was transferred so late. Everyone else is quoting dates earlier than 22nd July.
I'm at a loss at understanding why the federal part of this application is taking so long.

I've stopped holding my breath and crossing my fingers!
