Hello all,
To begin with, here are my details:
I currently reside in Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Applied FSW on March 2019
On April 2019 got my application cancelled by IRCC, Reason - I had selected 'Quebec' as my preferred province (I did not know Quebec does not accept FSW- it was an inadvertent mistake).

Applied FSW again, selected 'Ontario' this time
AOR - 03 May 2019
on 10/09/2019 - received a letter asking for:

">An explanation letter, stating your intention to reside in Ontario as declared
> Any substantiating evidence of your intention to reside in Ontario, such as job postings you have applied for in Ontario and/or any ties you may have within the province"

I have not applied for any jobs in Ontario yet because I was waiting for PPR before applying for jobs and moving there. I have 6 days to respond to this concern from IRCC. And only tie I have with Ontario is a friend of mine who lives there. But I truly intend to go to Ontario because of employment opportunities I see for my field of expertise.

Please help me in guiding me how to answer this concern from IRCC. I would greatly appreciate this.

Many thanks to you in advance!

Write a letter explaining these things exactly as you said, but elaborate more on details, specifically on job opportunities, mention you didn't know Quebec had its own stream, do you speak french? if not, also mention this as a reason.

Finally, ask your friend for proof of residence and mention him in your letter with this info.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your suggestion. I do not understand and speak French at all. I will mention that too.

You need to explain to them what you just explained to us, here.

1. You did not know Quebec had it's own stream and had selected Quebec earlier because ......... (insert the reason why you selected Quebec, after all, you had Quebec in your mind because of some reason).
2. Explain about the better opportunities Ontario has vs. Quebec in your own field along with relevant links.

Thank you for your response. The reason I might have selected Quebec was proximity to my current location. And no other reason at all.

Then you mention that as your reason why you selected Quebec in the first place because that is your honest answer. Honesty is the best policy.
