Hello,

So I've just had an ITA and so should hopefully get my permanent residency in the next few months :)

I'm currently living in Vancouver, BC.

My question is...
On obtaining my PR, are there any limitations in moving to Quebec (Montreal) ?
I understand that Quebec is using a different system (not Express Entry) and has different requirements if you apply for PR from that province.
Would there be any problems for me going to Quebec with PR obtained in BC?

I spent some time in Montreal before I came to Vancouver and I liked the city a lot.
Perhaps I will settle in Vancouver and stay... but I was just wondering what the situation would be if at some point I decided to go back to Montreal...?

Any tips appreciated.

Thanks!
 
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom states

"Mobility of citizens

6. (1) Every citizen of Canada has the right to enter, remain in and leave Canada.
Marginal note:Rights to move and gain livelihood

(2) Every citizen of Canada and every person who has the status of a permanent resident of Canada has the right
(a) to move to and take up residence in any province; and
(b) to pursue the gaining of a livelihood in any province."

Have fun in Montreal!

Immediately. Unless you were nominated by a province. In that case, it will be prudent to at least 'land' in that province before branching out elsewhere.

As a PR holder, you have all the rights that a Canadian citizen enjoys - except probably voting and ability to work in US
