Go ahead and live your life and make positive life choices. You only have 5 things that you will need to do....
1. Update your VO of your new address
2. IF you pass the 6 month mark....be prepared to send them a PCC for the European country that you now like.
3. Ensure that when your Visa in confirmed you take time of and go and "land" in Canada...complete the landing process and get relevant documents, start building credit history etc....all can be done in 2 weeks.
4. Find a secure address (maybe family/friend) where your PR card can be delivered to this address, and hopefully be delivered to you (not via mail)
5. Ensure that you return to Canada enough to maintain your PR status......and ultimately be able to apply for citizenship.
THATS MY OPINION ANYWAY Others have done it....just be prepared to defend your reason for being out of the country (Canada) that long..

Hi All,
I have this question which I seek clarity on. I really appreciate your replies in trying to understand this situation -
I have applied under NOC-3211. I have received my PER and my ECAS status currently reads "In Process" (application was received on June 3rd, 2013).
I have been offered a PhD position in one of the renowned labs in Europe and I have moved here just this month. Given the present situation, I am planning on completing my PhD in about 3-4 years and then move to Canada after that. What would the implications be on the further process due to this enrollment and the impact on my PR application thereafter?
I was told by one of my friend that since this is a genuine case -and- the fact that my professional career is actually positive turn (meaning there will be more demand for Doctor degree holders against Masters in Canada), the PR application goes fine all the way and (as my plans are) I can move to Canada after my PhD. Do you guys agree with this? Please let me know your views on this and any info on similar experiences anyone ever had in their past.
Thanks in advance!
