It's disheartening to hear so many people talking about abusing the PNP program.
The PNP is designed for a province to be able to meet it's own immigration needs. It serves as a safety valve, and is how (for example) students that have insufficient points on a PGWP can stay working for their existing employers. Right now, immigrants are clustering in certain cities - this lets provinces bypass the regular requirements and bring in needed people in certain occupations, and to attract those with ties to that province (due to family, school, or work).
When you ask how long you "have" to stay in a province, you're missing the point. Legally, the answer is "you don't" - it has to be long enough to show you didn't lie. Honesty, however, is it's own thing.
They keep track of PNP immigrants and where they migrate to. They look at taxes paid (based on SIN) and where they end up.
Don't believe me?

Note that fewer than half of the PNP people from the atlantic region stayed.
CIC knows this. The provinces know this.
PNP is more important now than it ever was, as for many people it's the only way they can qualify. I know someone here (for example) who graduated here, and has an employer here. She's in a reasonably technical job, but can't get a LMIA without quitting her job and moving elsewhere. BC wants her to stay, and she qualified for the BC PNP. If someone took that nomination, then moved somewhere else, she would be going home. It's one thing if it was someone with more ties to BC, but to have someone lie and leave would hurt her, hurt BC, and hurt the odds of anyone getting PNP in the future.
