Hello, I will soon be eligible for citizenship but I'm getting kind of worried regarding the process.
Back when I applied for PR I applied through express entry while living in Quebec because my intend was to leave the province in the following months and maybe try Alberta. This is what I told IRCC back then when I wrote a letter with my application stating that I knew express entry was not supposed to be for settling in Quebec and that I was still living there for now because I was on a closed permit with an employer in Montreal and that I intended to move to Alberta.
I got my PR granted while never moving out of Quebec , got my PR card sent to my Quebec adress , there has never been a problem.
However , after a while because of some changes in my personnal life I decided to stay in Quebec after all so I never moved out but now that I want to apply for citizenship I'm wondering if this is something that could get my application denied or worse get even my PR revoked once I apply for citizenship ?
I can't find anything online of a previous case of someone for whom this happened , I've seen a post from someone who said that they've heard about a PNP applicant being denied citizenship because they had not lived in the province they were nominated for but that's the only thing I could find and not really any proof of that ...
I never got nominated by any province I just got PR through express entry without PNP so I never signed anything that legally force me to settle somewhere specifically and I've always heard that as a PR I am allowed to settled wherever I want. Nevertheless, Quebec is not part of express entry and I got my PR through it WHILE never leaving Quebec so it's not like I settled in Ontario for a few months and then moved to Quebec, do you think I could be in trouble for that ?
My whole life is in Quebec now so it's not like I can just move ...
