Hello,

I have a bit of dilemma given my acquired PR under PNP Express Entry. I graduated a two year diploma program in the same province that I got my PR and landed a job that I am currently being employed for more than a year now but the office is closing in a few weeks now as the management prefer to put their staff in bigger offices in different provinces. There is one main office left in the same province that I can choose to be relocated but I don't want to go back there in that city (capital of the province) as I don't like to stay there again. Put simply, I find the city depressing and boring when I studied there in 2 years. I have chosen another province to be relocated so I wonder if that could affect my PR card renewal or citizenship in the future. I am aware about some cases where some got their PR renewal revoke or denied for citizenship. But I wonder if some cases like mine can be given consideration since the office is closing anyway and given the chance to be relocated to other offices/provinces.

you lived and worked in the province for 1 year after receiving PR and your office closed. Keep proof of these things but your intent was never to relocate after getting PNP it seems mainly due to circumstances out of your control.
