I'm just going to copy/paste what I said in another thread today about this:

This is one of the questions that comes up the most on this forum- are you legally bound to stay in the province that nominated you, and only that province, if you get Permanent Residency?
The answer to this question is no, you are not. Once you are a permanent resident, you are protected by the Constitution of Canada, which gives you the right to mobility- that is, you can travel to, and live, anywhere in the country that you wish to, without restrictions.
However, keep the following in mind:

 You have a moral obligation to try and live in the province that nominated you, and to try and make it work, for at least 6-12 months. What this means is, once you go to Canada, you should spend some time trying to settle down in the province that nominated you. Try to find a house, try to get a job. If, after a period of 6 or more months, you still have been unsuccessful in your attempts to settle, you have given your good faith effort at attempting to reside in that province (which is what you declared in your letter of intent that you would do), and you can move to another province where your prospects are better;

 On that note, you need to demonstrate at least an attempt to reside in the province that nominated you. While once you land in Canada, you have all the rights and privileges of a permanent resident, do remember that they do not apply to you until you have officially 'landed-' i.e. until you have crossed the border checks. If at the border check, the officers determine that you have no intent to go to the province that nominated you (maybe by checking your itinerary, which shows them that your ultimate destination is not the province that nominated you, or that you are only stopping there for a few days before going to some other province), they may refuse you entry.

The long and short of it, then? The letter is not legally binding, but it places a moral obligation upon you to try and reside in the province that nominated you. That moral obligation can and may be enforced prior to your entry into Canada. So the best thing to do is to make an honest and concerted effort at settling in the province that nominated you- if it does not work out, then you can move freely to any other part of Canada without any worries.

Landing in NS while having a Ontario nomination is not recommended. It will raise a red flag and the officer might be convinced that you have misrepresented your intent to live and work in Ontario.

Working and the moral obligation part has been covered by the OP.

Thankyou so much for the answer. I now understand the means of getting a letter of intent from us. I realize that i can get charged for this..

You cannot edit that excel sheet nor can I.

Leave a PM to the following user and tell him what to edit. He'll do it for you.

See once you are a PR(after you land in Canada and the officer says "Welcome to Canada, you are now a PR), you have the protection of the Canadian charter of Rights and Freedoms. Section 6 - Mobility Rights allows any PR or citizen to live, work or move to any part of Canada.

Having said that, the province spent its time and resources to nominate you. They nominated you believing that you will be of economic benefit to their province. If you land and just abandon the province that nominated you, you will essentially have used the nomination as a back door entry into Canada - which is not at all appreciated. That is why, it is suggested that you make sincere efforts to establish yourself in the province that nominated you.

Can you explain what happens on getting a normal ITA without any nominations. How are we judged then? Can we migrate anywhere we want?

If you get a direct ITA, you could land anywhere (except in the province of qubec) and live and work anywhere you want. Once you land, you can move and live in qubec as well.

Woah! really! That is an advantage for the people getting direct ITA! Looks like i need to find an alternative approach and try some opportunity at ontario.

As of now, am waiting for my AOR too.. Looks like the November and december applicants are still waiting for their AOR's.

You can't be charged once you're in the country- but if, upon landing, the border officers see that you have no intent to reside in Ontario, and just go on to Nova Scotia, they are entitled to refuse you entry unless you can demonstrate you do intend to reside in Ontario. Remember- unless you pass the border check, you are not legally a Canadian resident yet.

A direct ITA means you can go anywhere you want upon landing.

I hope they start processing November applicants from tomorrow. Some October applicants are still waiting too but the majority have received AOR s.

No doubt some applicants take the direct ITA inspite of being nominated by ontario with 1500 CAD. All myths cleared. Thanks Aragorn165 and Rajkamalnohanram.
