Intentions - Application form

[bravosix]

Hello everyone,

I did a search before posting this new topic but still have some doubts.

The first one is about the following question

-Where do you intend to live in Canada? choose Province and City

I already live in Canada, (Vancouver Island). So how would that affect the answer as I see two possible scenarios with different possibilities.

1. I intend to live in the city I'm currently at
-What if I move to a different city after sending my application? When I let them know of address change they will see that my new location is different from the one intended.

2. I want to live in a different city (Vancouver) than the current one
-What if I am not able to move?

I read that for PNP application, is recommended that the application is applying outside a major city, for BC it says outside Vancouver or Victoria metropolitan area. Does this apply to the CEC as well?


And my second question, a member already asked and Jes answered

"Can Intended Occupation and Current Occupation be the same?
Yes - that's ideal"

I'm wondering, why is that ideal? What if your intended is something better than the current one? in my case the current one is Assistant Front Store Manager and the intended would be Front Store Manager.

I will be sending my application by late April but I want to get all my documents in place, I don't like doing things at the last minute.

Good luck to the ones who are still waiting and congratulations to the ones who got their PR already!

Cheers

CEC is a federal program, not provincial, it is not like PNP. Don't need to worry so much about intended location. If you move, you just need to update your application. If you don't have specific plans to move, it's probably best just to keep your current city.

I'm wondering, why is that ideal? What if your intended is something better than the current one? in my case the current one is Assistant Front Store Manager and the intended would be Front Store Manager.

That's fine too - same line of work, not a problem... But here "intended" means what you expect to be doing when you land, not what you hope to be doing sometime in the future.
