PR process if moving to Qubec from BC

Yes, it may extend the PR process, quite possibly by years. Avoid moving to Quebec at all costs until after you have PR.
once you are PR you dont need a CSQ to live in Quebec, you are free to live anywhere in the country. wait for your PR then move.
if you say so i dont know what services you are talking about, i moved from ottawa and i dont need anything PR card was enough, and if you search you can also find that CSQ was only required for Permanent Residency.
if you are already a permanent resident of Canada, you do not need a CSQ (Certificat de sélection du Québec) to live, work, or study in Quebec. The CSQ is required for individuals seeking permanent residence in Quebec
Because you already have the right to settle in Quebec as a permanent resident, you do not need a separate CSQ to live there
Not true there are many services that do require CSQ. There is of course freedom of movement in Canada but moving right after getting PR is a very different issue. Not only could you end up with misrepresentation issues if you declared you did not intend to live in Quebec but as a new PR yes you can be asked for CSQ when applying for RAMQ, for language classes, in college/university classes to determine tuition rates or CSQ, as well as other settlement services. The provinces have mentioned in recent bulletin that the are exploring how to ensure that people remain in the nominating province or in/outside Quebec and at least attempt to live where they have declared they will settle because of these issues. Because of freedom of movement I can only imagine at citizenship misrepresentation on a PR application could be used as a strategy.
Hi everyone,
I became a protected person in January and will be moving to Quebec for school in the fall. I have been living in Ontario for the past three years and I intend to remain a resident of the province for as long as possible. The only reason I am moving temporarily is because the master I intend to pursue is only available in French in Quebec (UOttawa, Laurentian and UOF don't have it in French). I applied for PR last February and was wondering how this would affect my application regarding processing time. Anyone with similar experience pls?
I have already received my study permit and I did not need a PAL or CSQ to get it nor do I intend to get one too. I just want to get my degree and come back to Ontario, so how does that affect my PR application pls? Thank you.

It's hard for us to say. You will need to notify IRCC of the address change since you are moving. They may keep your PR processing under the outside of Quebec stream or they may move to Quebec processing. If they move to Quebec processing, this obviously means you'll be waiting longer for PR. Again, hard for us to say unfortunately. You'll just have to do it and see what happens.
You aren’t an Ontario resident if you move and do a masters in Quebec. You will also have to get RAMQ versus OHIP, if you have a vehicle change your license, license plate, change your insurance, etc. Misrepresentation is never a good idea.
'' Misrepresentation is never a good idea''. That tells me everything I need to know about you. Thanks anyways.
Lying about your residency location to IRCC can have significant consequences like a refusal/ban so yes it is a bad idea to lie about where you live. Not sure why that is controversial. On top of that it could also lead to things like insurance and healthcare fraud so if you had an accident for example your coverage could get denied, OHIP could refuse to cover any healthcare you use because you are a Quebec resident and should have RAMQ, etc.
The only person talking about misrepresentation here is you. I am not sure what is your life experiences have been that made you being skeptical about almost everything but for some people, no matter what life throw at them, integrity will always be at the core of their lives and I am one of them. Not everyone asking questions here are trying to "play" the system. You can always answer in a non-judgmental manner and remain respectful in your interactions with others here since you do not know people personally. Or just ignore them if that easier. I hope you heal.
Bonne journée!
