Hi, I'm new here, just registered today. Many of you here are really knowledgeable about the whole process, so I hope to get some guidance on the following issue:

I just got ITA today and my stream is CEC. My documents are all ready and I can submit my application anytime.
Now I resided in BC and I have a job which is my main NOC and what got me eligible for CEC.
Now I have an opportunity to move to Halifax and do a job that is not my current NOC, and the pay is much less than my current job (for some other reason, it's a good opportunity for me).
The plan is to quit my current job in end of July and move to Halifax in September.

I have worked for my employer for 1 year and a month already, so theoretically if I quit and moved to another province (Nova Scotia), it should not affect my score and eligibility.

I understand that, but should I still notify IRCC about my change of job and moving out of province??? Correspondence is done by emails so even if i didn't notify IRCC, there should not be problems? But they will find out when i send my passport? My concern is that I change to another NOC, a job pays much less, and move to a province that is super far away from BC. The story seems odd. I wouldn't want to complicate my application so MUST I let them know?

Thank you!

As far as I know, EE only cares about the story happened before ITA. You can literally quit your job and go on a trip to the south pole after receiving ITA. As long as you can be contacted at the address you give them.

Hi Doge,

Thank you so much for the reply. That's good news!

I'm filling out the application right now, there is a question asking where i would like to live - Province and city. Since I'm still in BC fir a while, i believe should select BC? What does IRCC use this answer for? How does it affect their process?

Thanks!

The key is, do NOT select Quebec. And all others have little difference as long as you are not under PNP stream.

I would suggest you to select the province which you will land.
