Different choice of Province means different application handling??

I'm about to apply for federal skilled worker and I was curious if my choice of province would influence my chances of being accepted. I can go anywhere in Canada, I don't mind. And how long would I have to live in the Province I chose in my application?

as long as its not quebec, it doesnt matter what choice you put down, well thats my understanding anyway.
Theoretically, you just have to land in any of the english speaking provinces of canada, but you can move to anywhere else almost immeidately.

rupeshhari is correct. It does not matter what province you choose in your FSW application as long as it is not Quebec. Furthermore, you are not even required to first land in the province you chose in your application.

Good luck,
