I have spent 2 years in Halifax/NS and the rest in Ottawa/ON and applied on Oct. 2011.
Anyone here has change provinces like me?
Any difference to others case if you change provinces within the three year before you submit the application for citizenship?
I think it would be very useful if we can share experience and knowledge here.
Waiting for your reply.

Hello

I have applied for PR visa through PNP (SINP) program. I left the province after doing medical exam, as I got job offer. So I don't know if this is going to have any effect for my PR visa application.
I could not stay in the province as, I couldn't find any job there even after 8 month of getting my degree. so I would appreciate for any advice.

Job Offer........
Pre-Assessed..
If you apply through a PNP, you sign a statement saying that you intend to settle in that province. If you have already left, you have already defaulted on that statement before you even landed. I think it is very likely that they will withdraw their nomination once they find out that you have moved. In order to get PR through a PNP, you really must intend to settle in that province and this must still be true when you land as a PR.

Thanks for replying. But the thing is I didn't have job, I thought I can find soon, but unfortunately I couldn't.
Could you please let me know if the federal will check with the province after medical exam or not?
Also, my wife still there with my friend and I didn't change the address, so do you think this helps?
