Permanent Residency in Canada through OINP

[nehabhatia1312]

Hello guys,
My name is Neha Bhatia and I am currently located in Ontario, Canada. I am on my work permit here. I recently started working in a company as an Electrical and Automation Engineer and don't have 1 year of Canadian work experience. However, I have 1 year of Foreign work experience (India) and that's why I have applied for my PR in the Express Entry- Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) category. Also, to increase my total score under the FSW stream, I have applied for the OINP International graduate student category so that if my OINP application gets selected, my express entry file would get additional 600 points and that my chances of getting through the next PNP draw would be better.

Now, my question is, if the above mentioned situation happens, would I be restricted to work just in Ontario after getting my PR through the OINP program? Or I would be eligible to work anywhere within Canada with my PR status (which I might have gotten through the OINP stream)
Kindly help me out and let me know if I can reach out to anyone in particular regarding this.
Thanks in advance

There is no straight answer. You get mobility rights with PR but you are expected to live in the province that nominated you,
