As a PR you can live, work and study wherever you want in Canada.

A member from the forum emailed the immigration office of BC (he was a PR under BCPNP) and he told them that he got a better job offer in Alberta. Their reply eluded that now that he is a PR he has the right to work and live anywhere in Canada, however, he should still meet CIC requirements for citizenship (IE 3 years of presence in the country). There is no obligation that you have to stay for 3 years whatsoever anywhere in the bulletins, or PNP applications.

Hi, I am in the same kind of situation, Did you move out of the province who nominated you or are you still residing in the same province. I really need help. We have a family business in ON and planning to help my dad in the business. can we move or do we need to stay in AB for almost 2 years. It has been total of 5 years since i am in AB and started my PR processing. Now I am a PR and wanted to settle in different province. please share your experience.
Thanks

Hi guys,
i have read several threads in this context, i am currently sinp PR, coudn't find in sask, got a very good job offer from ontraion, i emailed to sinp, they replied that they will followup and revoke the nomination, it is very diappointing.

Now i have nothing, except to do od jobs as i don't see any opporunity here as telecom professional.

Pls let know if there's any wayout.

regards,
