I have been silently watching the comments on this thread. I do not wish to make any adverse comments on any of your intentions. But I do believe that nowadays, it is not very easy to get Canadian PR. There are so many applicants whose file has not moved much for many years. Applicants whose files are in advanced stage of the process should feel lucky and be thankful to the FSWP / PNP for the success so far.
Having said this, if a province is nominating you, it is because they think you will join their community for mutual benefit and economic development - both applicant as well as the local community. There are limited number of nominations that each province can make. It is the applicants moral obligation to respect the nomination and stay for a reasonable period before moving out to a different province. Please keep in mind that we are all coming to Canada mainly to live a better lifestyle compared to our home country. Otherwise, why would an applicant desire to move to Canada if he or she was very well settled and very happy in the home country among their kith and kin?
I came to Canada under FSWP and I was very serious in moving to Saskatchewan province but my American employer relocated me to Alberta where the weather conditions are more severe than in SK. I am not sure how many of you know that SK is the only province in Canada where you can sponsor your family members for immigration to Canada without being a Canadian Citizen. It takes a PR at least 4+ years to get a Canadian citizenship (3+ years to complete the residency requirement and another 1+ year to get the citizenship). SK, in order to encourage more immigrants to settle in this province, allows its PRs to sponsor their family members after ONE YEAR of residing in SK.

Of course, getting a citizenship has the same requirement all over Canada. Imagine the advantage of being in the family sponsorship queue 3-4 years ahead of the rest of the new immigrants' family sponsorship applications.
+1 for your excellent thought. Very well put up.
