Hi, Once I was planning to move from Montreal to Alberta, I called IRB to ask about file transfer they advised me to submit an application for the file transfer and it is up to IRB in Calgary to accept my file or refuse it. Then my file will stay and process in Montreal. I didn't transferred my file I believe it is lengthy process to start everything from beginning. Wish you best of luck!!!

Thank you for response brother, I am actually new here , I've heard that changing province is legal but I need to know the procedure.

It can be quite lengthy process if you already started everything in Montreal but still you can change but my advise is first speak with IRB because file transfer is one the important thing to do.

You basically have to get a new lawyer and if you are receiving support you'll have to reapply for that, new health card, new driver's license if you have one, etc. You'll have to pay for your move as well. The cost of living is in general higher in Alberta. Many of the information is online.
