Hey guys! Do you have any idea about moving to another province after the PR??.... I have a friend in Saaskatchewan, and he told me that sometimes cic check the person if they're still in the province that nominated them, if they found out, most likely they will send back home the person..thats scary! But what if you are in a place that is hard to find a job..specially winter time, when the employer starts to layoff the workers
Hi tinacraigg:
I don't think this is factual. However, the sponsor of this person leaving the province that nominated him might not be able to sponsor anyone again.
Here's an excerpt from one of the blog that I read regarding your question:
"Section 6 provides permanent residents and Canadian citizens with the right to live and work in any province in Canada.
Section 6 reads:
1.Every citizen of Canada has the right to enter, remain in and leave Canada.
2.Every citizen of Canada and every person who has the status of a permanent resident of Canada has the right ◦to move to and take up residence in any province; and
◦to pursue the gaining of a livelihood in any province.
In immigration matters, the implications of section 6 and mobility rights under the Charter is so significant that when a province selects an individual, the relationship becomes one that can be compared at best, to a “contract” with very limited scope and with ample legal rights in favour of the applicant.
Once the province in question selects the applicant, the federal department of Citizenship and Immigration will oversee admissibility issues, including health, security and (the truthfulness of an applicant’s statements).
But after receiving a permanent residence visa and appearing at a port of entry for admission to Canada, once admitted, there is nothing that can come in between an applicant’s mobility rights to live and work anywhere in Canada. The provinces who seek to attract newcomers under their provincial immigration programs are left to create their own enhancements that will attract and more importantly, retain immigrants."
