As it is true you can study wherever u want, if u study in quebec and own a CSQ (Which u probably wont be able to get after ur PR) you can study french for free and also u get a very low price to study in the universities.
Also i dont think it is a good idea you do not tell them.. It is kidna of misleading and if they find out you might get into trouble. If i were you i would notify them of every step you do.
Foofy and Sievo,
It has nothing to do with ethics here.
1) I assumed of whatever information given that the sponser is not going to change his residency and the spouse's immigration is going through Manitoba. They will be living in Montreal for whatsoever reasons while applicant is keeping his immigration from Manitoba.
Sponser can change the residency to Quebec but the spouse's is a question-mark. As the spouse is going through immigration from Manitoba. CIC would get confused if provided by documents right now as Quebec has whole lot of different immigration process and paperwork. CIC would contact applicant for either file the immigration again through Quebec or they could keep the file on hold and ask the application for necessary documentation from Quebec which are called " Additional documents" in CIC terminology and they take 3-4 months to attach documents to files. That will clearly result in slowing down the application. I am totally using my analytical skills here.
No where in the clause written that CIC should be informed of all of your tiny bit of your movement anywhere in Canada BUT If asked, do not lie. Upon their questioning, Tell them logically that you decided to go through the immigration from Manitoba as in your opinion, it was already in process and you just had to move to Montreal but you didnt change your residency.
I was just suggesting him to save his time and CIC's. Get everything done from Manitoba, it will just save time for his spousal application. Trust me, Seivo, will be done by July-Aug 2012. 8-9 more months to go.
On the other hand, yes, I am not sure about studying in Quebec but I do know about that my husband's medical is valid till 6 months and then he has to pay to doctors and get it reimbursed by OHIP. He is carrying on his same job from Ontario, so it was not a problem for job hunting.
2) Another thing that i recommended him to ask this question by calling CIC as a general question. In my very personal opinion, sometimes agents judge you based on what you have filed and give different opinion than if you ask the same thing as a general question. Again, it has nothing to do with ethics here as well. Agents dont bother to know your backgrounds but just answer what you questioned.
