URGENT!!!

Guys, this is the second time posting this, I would really appreciate some help. My husband and I received our COPR and destination province says Alberta and dest. city is Calgary. Must we land in Calgary? I know tobs said we can land anywhere in Canada except Quebec, but our consultant just said "It's in your best interest to land in Calgary"
We are kinda worried as tickets to Calgary are super expensive and we planned on traveling next week.
Please respond. @legalfalcon

Thank you!
You can land anywhere in Canada, including Quebec. I wrote a piece on PNP and PR rights under the Constitution, see:

https://www.getgcms.com/blog/understanding-provincial-nomination-pogram/

You can complete your landing formalities at any Port of Entry, including those in Quebec. The only issue is that you cannot have an intent to reside in Quebec, unless you were nominated by QC. After you are admitted, you become a landed PR, and then you can move to any part of Canada, including QC, which is your mobility right under the Constitution and the Charter.

Your consultant is either ignorant or idiot or both. It will be in your best interest to stay away from him.

And if you are really going to value his word over anyone over here than it defeats the whole purpose of asking the question in the first place. I understand you are anxious but then I think you (unintentionally) disrespect the person who took out time, read your question and gave you an answer.

But in any case what people have suggested is correct. You can land anywhere except Quebec.
Or idiot, ignorant and not a consultant.

OP: You can land in all English-speaking provinces without issues. You can even land in one of them and provide an address in another.

Thanks, since I am not thinking to extend my study permit now as it is very expensive to study as an international student compared to a resident. So if I go back to my home country , and I get the ppr while being there , do I have to change the visa office in that case for Passport stamping ? Also will my application be still processed here only in Canada or will it be considered outland application than ? Sorry I am just so confused about what to do . I was also considering to go on visitors visa if I don't get the decision by March , so that I can stay here till i get the decision on my application. Do you have any suggestions please?

Ok thanks a lot. I got information from someone telling that if you leave Canada than the processing time increases and also your application can get get rejected since it's a requirement that you have to be in Canada , if you have applied from within Canada.
