Selection of province for express entry

[Ankur25]

I am very much confused about selection of province for express entry profile. Our cumulative CRS score is 430 ( ECA report awaited).
My wife (primary applicant) is having 5 years of experience in India as software quality analyst(Bachelor's of technology, computer science) and my self QA/QC engineer having 7 years of experience (Bachelor's of technology, mechanical engineering)
Regarding selection of province, I want to know which province suits best for me to get good JOB in canada considering profiles of both of us. I am considering Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia as primary options for both of us followed by Saskatchewan and Nova scotia

Please guide me.

Probably select all, i guess It doesn't make any much difference.
Meanwhile on an unrelated topic, which NOC did you choose? 2283?

For EE doesn't matter which province you select..... I suggest to select all ......once you have your PR you can move or land anywhere in Canada.

Yes 2283

Correct. But i am afraid if i get ITA from some far land then i will have to live there anyway for one year. Anyways i have selected ON, BC, AB, PE, SK, NS, MT as options (Left out Yukon, Northern territories, Nunavat etc). Should i modify my profile and select all. Do system allow us to modify profile after submission?

It doesn't matter at all which province you select in your application. It's just a survey-type question to know which provinces are at the top of peoples' choices.

Once you get your PR visa, then you are free to land, live and work ANYWHERE in Canada, unless you are a PNP applicant.
No one will restrict you to live in some specific province after that. So, you can choose where to find job and live.

Am i not bound to land and live in a province which gives me ITA.?

Have you been nominated by any province?
or
Are you applying through FSW stream?

ITA is not given by any province. It's given by federal government, by IRCC.
So, if you get your PR visa except through PNP, then you can land, live and also work in any province you want to, for indefinite period.

Hope it's clear now.

Thanks for explanation !

I received ITA at 430 CRS in last draw.

Can you also guide me regarding Proof of funds? I want to know at what time do we require to provide proof of funds. I already have ITA and have started filling forms. Do i require to provide proof of funds at this stage or some later stage?

Yes, you'll need ALL the supporting docs at the time of submitting your complete application, which people call it e-APR (electronic app for permanent residence).
Once you fill in all the details in your app profile, then you'll have document upload fields to upload each document separately. At that time you have to submit the documents. Also, fees are to be paid at that time.
Regarding fees, you must submit the visa fee at the time of submission, but you can choose whether you want to pay RPRF at this time or at a later date.
