I don't see anything in the document. Pls show me.

Also, I understand that you may be rejected at the port of entry or revoked if you abuse the system in purpose. However, buddy, what I'm talking here is different. What if somebody wants to settle down in Alberta but can only find a job somewhere else in 6 months? Do you think Canadian government will prefer the person to live on unemployment benefit in Alberta other than working and paying tax somewhere else?

CIC has the right to revoke at any time based on this document which details the residency requirements.

Official CIC handbook for calculating residency requirements.With provincial nominees since they got a benefit with supposed quicker processing ( only god knows how fast it was ) and also reduced requirements such as not proving english proficiency (in some cases not all ) and not needing to demonstrate minimum bank balances unlike other streams...the field gets much murkier.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/resources/manuals/enf/enf23-eng.pdf

Please refer to sections 7.1 through 7.9 for understanding the requirements. And yes it is entirely true Alberta is sending out those notices for breach of not residing in Alberta. Many others have also posted links previously ( Ell Bee posted one if I remember ...) about Alberta doing this.

Be carefull here, individuals (or even different immigration officer) may have different interpretation. If one misses the interpretation from an officer who will handle his/her case, he/she might be in trouble. The following is posted here: http://vivconsulting.net/?paged=2

Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) skilled worker immigration stream. Canada’s provinces have designed their respective PNP’s to meet their own needs. To qualify one has to meet the requirements of a participating province and settle there permanently (or until becoming a Canadian citizen which will happen if you apply for Canadian citizenship on the 4th year after becoming a permanent resident or 1095 days).

where can you find that " also later in the future when PR renewal or Citizenship applications" CIC will use that as a judging clause? Just show me the words.

Also I don't understand why you need to stay in Alberta for 2 years other than 1.5 years or 3 years.

Being employed or not for an individual is of no difference to Canadian government speaking about taxes. A vacant spot will be filled by other candidates, provided there are >1x of qualified candidates (that is true for most jobs, if not all), and the filled spot will be responsible for taxes anyway.

Based on your logic, if any positions can be filled by a Canadian citizen or PR, why would Canada want immigrants in the first place????? They want you to stay unemployed and collect benefits???

Just show me the laws or you are interpreting things on your own:

"Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) skilled worker immigration stream. Canada's provinces have designed their respective PNP's to meet their own needs. To qualify one has to meet the requirements of a participating province and settle there permanently (or until becoming a Canadian citizen which will happen if you apply for Canadian citizenship on the 4th year after becoming a permanent resident or 1095 days). "

If you said if true, then the following is also true:


Federal skilled worker immigration category. Canada have designed FSW to meet its own needs. To qualify one has to meet the requirements of Canada and settle there permanently (or until becoming a Canadian citizen which will happen if you apply for Canadian citizenship on the 4th year after becoming a permanent resident or 1095 days).

So, based on your logic, if a FSW stays in Canada for 6 months, then stay in India for 6 months, then the person misses the interpretation from an office who will handle his/her case, he/she might be in trouble.

I just shared what the bulletin said with respect to PN class. Also multiple users have posted on this forum recently about their experiences.Feel free to google.

Whether one gets a job in a different province,whether one decides to stay unemployed in that province etc etc are individual cases and again juding will depend on the individual consular officer.You might be right that there is no official clause except for the intend to settle clause. But the recent events are giving some hints.

Each one of us makes different life choices .

1. Canadian government is not responsible for providing a job for every citizen and permanent resident. Acutally maintaning a certain unemployment rate is a good to our society, why, being more competetive means being more productive. Many immigrants eventually left Canada after many years of struggling.

2. I am not saying settling in another province will guarrentee that they will revoke PR status. I just posted the link from another website. I said "be carefull". I have seen posts that A44 report has been written at POE when a PN didn't provide clear intention to reside in the province. If some members can post stories that landed PR has been reported by nominated province, that will be very helpfull.

Anyway, the risk may be small but impact is huge.

The, I do agree with you that we all should be careful and we should try our best to settle in Alberta

and I also appreciate it if someone can share reals stories about risking losing PR because leaving a province as a provincial nominee

I am just saying planning to apply as a PN to settle in a province is just like planning to apply to Canada PR as a FSW or something else. Yes, if you intend to abuse the system or you later decide to leave the country, you eventually lose your PR. However, Canada immigration laws never say if you get your PR as PN you are not allowed to stay in other provinces before you get citizenship

I have read a lot and haven't really found any "reliable" cases as you talked about

All I have read is about "rumors" or something they have heard from their "friends", who again "heard" the story from someone else...
