See the thread/discussion 'PNP - Living outside the Nominated Province'. This is what my source is speaking as someone who has not applied and not received a PNP invitation.
Also, to my way of thinking a Province offers a PNP because the potential candidate brings prospect of economic gain and contributes to their Provincial economy. Why would a Province issue a PNP to a person who wants to live in another Province? It makes no sense at all. Happy to be corrected if Im wrong.
I've seen that thread.
Also agree that if one applies for PNP, one should sincerely intend to settle in that province.
However, my point is that schedule 4 requires one to sign & confirm one's "intent" to settle. There are no requirements (in that form) for defined periods of time that one must live & work in said province.
