Hi there,

I was an international student completed Education in Ontario. Lived in Ontario for 5 years I recently received my PR through ONIP International Student Stream. My total years of staying in Ontario 2 years on study permit 3 years on the work permit.

However, I am considering also moving to another province in Canada. My question is: if I move to another province Job purpose. Does it affect my future PR renewing? Or affect my application to become a citizen?

Or do I have to stay in Ontario for a certain length of time on PR status before I can move to another province? There is no such clear obligation for International Student Stream (only that you intend to live and work in Ontario?)

Greatly appreciated if you could answer my question or any input!

Thank you!

Yes - you can move to another province. No - there is no length of time you have to remain in Ontario.
