This slow pace at which CIC is processing FSW 1 is really frustrating.

Hi everybody;

I applied for FSW1 in 2011, I was PhD student in Alberta, I finished my PhD, and now I am working a research fellow in Quebec. My application is still in process and CIC asked me to update some new forms.

In one of the forms, it asks " where do you intend to live in Canada?". Well, in 2011, I put "Alberta" and now I am in Quebec. I am confused and worried about the answer to this question. The contract for my current job is until 2015 here in Quebec. If I put my intended place as Alberta, it is in conflict with my current job located in Quebec and if I put it as Quebec, it is in conflict with FSW application and they may reject my application by saying why I didn't apply in Quebec Skilled Worker program. It may also cause a conflict regarding the port of entry when I am going to land with landing visa.

Could you please help me on this. Thank you very much in advance for your consideration.

Thanks for the answer. Hopefully you will be contacted soon.
If I put Alberta, I have to leave Quebec, because when you land in Alberta, you should give an address in Alberta for PR card to be posted to, and if I land in Alberta and come back to Quebec to continue my "life" here, it might be a kind of misrepresentation. What do you think?

I may be wrong, but in my view since you did not apply under PNP, I don't think where you intend to live will determine your approval. Why not state where you intend to live and if it is different from where you're working currently, just add an explanatory note. This is my view, I may however be wrong, others may have better views.
