I know that lots of people discussed about whether they are obliged to stay in the province that nominates you after getting permanent residence. I have a slightly different question: right after I land on the province that nominates me (one week), can I move out of Canada for a period of time? I am planning to return to Canada (any province) some time later. Will it affect my eligibility to apply for citizenship afterwards?

I am asking this because my occupation has very rare openings, so people usually move to where the jobs are (as opposed to moving to where they want to live). In addition, I have urgent family issues that I have to deal with.
