Hello Everyone,
Just like everybody else does, I really want to thank all the experts on this site that helps and guides new comers to Canada.
My question is just a little confusing (it has been a lot confusing to me). I am a permanent resident living in Saskatchewan. Here is how I got my PR Status:
=> 2009 (I came to Ontario, Canada as an international student)
=> 2010 (Upon finishing my education and getting my work permit, I moved to Saskatchewan in order to look for new opportunities).
=> 2011 (I applied for Saskatchewan Immigration Nominee Program and prepared to apply for my PR upon getting a successful nomination).
=> 2012 ( I got my medicals, my passport was called for visa stamping and I also crossed the border and re entered in Canada as a landed immigrant. I have also received my PR Card six months back).
So here is my question:
As we say that upon being a Permanent Resident of Canada, an individual can:
1)Live, work or study anywhere in Canada
2)Receive most social benefits that Canadian citizens receive, such as health coverage
3)Be protected under Canadian law and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
then is it true that moving to a different province could affect my citizenship as I misrepresent myself by not living in SK if at all I chose to relocate?? Roomers have it here that you have to live in SK till you become a citizen which I do not get. I have lived in SK for almost 3 yrs now and have been a healthy tax payer. And if I think I get a better opportunity elsewhere I cannot move?? I have consulted lawyers but all they care about is their 200$ per hour for meeting without giving me a certain answer. I mean I think Canada is united and a free country! Do we not have the Charter 6 Right? Not that I have a problem living in Saskatchewan, but isn’t the act of not allowing PR holders settle anywhere else nothing but trying to cage individuals just because they worked there, payed taxes and obeyed the immigration law? Where did the Charter 6 Right go then?? We talk about the SINP Contract that I was nominated as I had shown intentions of living in SK! I agree!! But just like the Government went by my true intentions, how can my intentions confirm and promise my healthy and progressive living in SK for years till I become a Citizen?? Will the govt pay me for it if I don not get a job or just another basic paying job?? NO!!!. As some of us might not want to, I do not wish to do basic jobs here if I see a better scope in any other province that gives me a field job and a better livelihood!I have so many opportunities from other provinces knocking at my door yet I am afraid to take them up as I do not wish to lose my PR Status here and ruin my hopes of becoming a citizen here. It's like I feel stuck here trying so hard but not finding a good job when I see other opportunities at other provinces!
Is it possible for you experts out there to put some light on my situation and be able to tell me if the above requirements were true? I would certainly feel blessed if you all can. I apologize for taking up your time and do want to thank you for everything.
