PNP when not living in province

[robb83]

hi all

looking for some advice, i'm currently not in Ontario but living and working in another province.

i have 418 points with lmia and on a work permit.

if i applied to Ontario PNP (as i'd actually like to live there) and been Toronto many times, would they consider me?

if so what would they do it via their express entry i.e. 3 months and 600 points?

as im working in another province would it just not make sense to them?

thanks

You can still apply. They might ask you for a resettlement plan

I've only been here 2 months now, surely that would be an issue?

I lived in Toronto for 4 years and I've been nominated by Nova Scotia back in September. I accepted the nomination and 2 months after AOR I was asked to provide a Settlement Plan.
I still haven't received my PPR but I arrived in Nova Scotia a few days ago. I called immigration last Friday and all is good with my application, I just have to wait a few more days
If you are true about your intentions you will not have a problem getting PNP from other province

So i'm in Nova Scotia, arrived 2 months ago after LMIA and work permit granted.

According to Ontarios PNP doc it says "ontario onip will only consider arranged employment in ontario, arranged employment outside of ontario contradicts your intention to stay and results in a refusal of your application"

I want to live in Toronto and would happily do a settlement plan

Surely though they would think this is weird and reject?

My employment isn't arranged tho, im actually here

NS PNP is a little bit different, as long as your profession is on the high demand list you can apply. I am not sure how ON PNP works though and its rules

Go ahead n apply....it takes a while for provinces to issue nominations. Last year, it as taking way longer than three months to issue nominations. Do some research n submit a good settlement plan.

Once you are nominated, you can move after submitting your app. Ontario is a high demand province therefore, they would not be extremely worried that u are not in the province. Forum is full of ppl who are nominated but not present in the province.

Thanks, I have done research

However they make the key point of "arranged" employment somewhere else very clear.

I don't know if its wording but arranged to me would suggest that someone is outside of Canada.

Now that i'm here I don't know if the ball game changes.

Well you currently have arranged employment in NS. Hence the LMIA and job offer. With that being said, there if no harm in pursuing nomination from ON. You need to start job searching for jobs in ON. When they request a settlement plan from you, mention that if you are to receive the nomination and permenant residency that you will quit your current job and move to Ontario. Prove that you are applying to jobs there.

Currently you are restricted by your work permit to work for the employer that issued you the LMIA, but once you receive your PR you can quit that job and move to Ontario. You must move to Ontario if you were nominated by Ontario, you cannot continue in your current job working in NS.

Thanks

would they not just decline me on that basis, i'd happily quit and get a job in Ontario.

However I need PR to get a job, finding a firm in GTA willing to do LMIA and workpermit is near impossible.
