Hello guys, I was thinking if I should move to Ontario for my pr application to move faster. I was approved as a refugee in July 2024, and applied the same month and got my csq. Now seeing all the Quebec applicants still waiting for pr from 2021 made me anxious. Will moving help in this case?

I moved to Alberta. I KNow persons in Quebec waiting since 2021. It is discouraging.
Did you noticed any changes on your application? There are some people saying that the progress won’t change if it’s already deemed Quebec stream
It’s my home but with what’s going on in the world I can’t risk waiting 4 years. Being a refugee is already very traumatic, none of us want to live in fear anymore
If you are prepared to move outside Quebec for the foreseeable future move but if you are not prepared to cut ties to Quebec or want to move back to Quebec as soon as you get PR not a great plan.
I'm waiting for security screening. Other passed. Out of Quebec the time is around two years.
As long as you will not return back to Quebec right away you should be fine. Quebec often verifies that you got PR through Quebec to access some programs as a new PR. Would also anticipate having to secure housing and work out of Quebec because IRCC and Quebec are aware that people are trying to get processed outside of Quebec but some have no intention of remaining outside Quebec. They will likely want proof that you have settled in another province and no longer have ties to Quebec.
I moved and notified immigration. I have no ties with Quebec and i'm not planning to return. I'm settled in Alberta.
