You have an interesting signature.
"Anyone gained PR by Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) may reside anywhere they want in Canada, not only the nominated province. Any restriction to residency is unconstitutional. Charter of Rights and Freedoms Sec. 6 (2)"
While i agree to an extent, if you go in with the intent of NOT residing in the province that gave you PNP, then it's within their right to revoke their nomination of you.
As it should be. Even if you didn't go with the intent of jumping ship to a different province, it should be also understood that they can reserve the right to pull your nomination if you don't make a VALID effort at job hunting in the province of sponsorship. If you leave after a few weeks or even 2 months, then you didn't give it an honest effort.
That is for people asking in PNP forum on how long they should stay after landing. It comes up from time to time and it's too difficult to copy and paste, so I just write "See below"

For your statement, it is not true. While you don't think others paying enough effort to stay, the government has no evidence of it. For CBSA to accuse you not intended to reside in the province, they don't just need evidence that you are not staying long enough, they also need evidence of you trying to reside in another province. They have to prove beyond reasonable doubt.
You are not protected by the constitution when CBSA is interviewing at your landing. You are, from the moment they sign your CoPR paper and let you go pass the border and hence Section 6 (2)
What they need to accuse you are things like a job contract in or a house bought in another province. Simply "Not staying long enough" or not finding work is not enough for the accusation.
The only exception is spousal sponsorship, which explicitly noted marriage 2 years after landing, but that is going away. The efficiency of PNP is a concern at IRCC internally (noted in last years report) and is a growing political problem especially in BC and Ont. It's a bomb waiting to explode if Liberal don't do something
