Tracking PNP Feb 2013 applications to CIO Nova Scotia

[westzhu]

Does anybody have information regarding move out of Saskatchewan after pr. I heard that we cant move till we get Canadian passport or certain time. any clue?

Couple of my friends were asked to submit pay stubs, rental receipts and credit card statement for last six months, six months after pr. any news from anybody?

You know more than I do.

This sounds possible because you get your PR through PNP and they wish you stay in that province, and this was indicated at the beginning of every PNP program. And this was just a grey area that has not been clearly defined by CIC.

In the recent years, more and more new immigrants who got their PR moved out of their nomination province right after their landing was caught immigration fraud.

I don't think anyone get a better answer for this issue yet.

It's all up to you to make a decision / take a chance.

Totally agree with Westzhu.

To add, if you feel its legitimate to do this - go ahead and ask SINP. No one in this world can guide you better then they would. There is no way to slip through..they will come to know of this when you renew your PR or apply for citizenship.

In addition, I didn't suggest to go and ask SINP because I think NONE of the nomination programs can promise you anything. Some people did ask SINP if they can move out after getting their PR and they said YES!

Don't ever trust this kind of information. These programs they are only responsible for giving out nominations. Maybe they can say YES to you if you get your PR in 2013.However, this is oral communication and it is not written or documented by laws. It wont be guaranteed when it comes the time to renew your PR-ship or apply for citizenship in 2015. Immigration policy changes year after year, stricter and stricter.

I think this is the biggest drawback of going through PNP to get PR.

What I will do is to stay in your nomination province at least a year or two (don't quote me, I don't know what's best solution yet) right after landing so that hopefully you won't be questioned when you get to your PR-ship renewal or application of citizenship.

Any better thoughts, please feel free to share. I would love to know too.

In case anyone contacts their respective PNP -make sure it's done through email, as the officer replying to emails would definitely clear any ambiguity + you have your written proof. Having said that, so far I haven't seen any provincial nomination office give consent for this kind of move because it defeats the purpose of the program. But in case some people ended up talking to wrong personals over phone or were not able to explain the issue properly, it cannot be taken for confusion. For me through taking part in one of the PNP seminars and reading bulletins the rule is pretty straightforward and clear: You stay in province that nominated you until you become a citizen after which you are free to move. Please take a look at below posts from Sr members for better understanding which have been authenticated by Champion members:

You have to sign a declaration while applying for program to establish sucessfully in the province that nominated her. The province nominated her because she can benefit the economy of that province immediatly after landing based on her existing experience and qualifications. If she tried to study out of province right after landing, it is a seious break of her legally abind declaration. She will never be able to apply for citizenship in the future and in the next time she goes oversea and return to canada, her pr will be revoked and she will be deported back to her home country. Please refer to the new immigration bulletin in feb 2011 from cic regarding pnp nominee move out to other provinces for more info. The best is to wait 3 years till you get the citizenship before moving, not counting the time to process the citizenship application

Consequences & Bulletin:

It is not true that as long as you get the PR card you can move to any province without any consequences. It is true, however, that you can live anywhere in Canada with your PR status but everything will be in your immigration record which is permanent and linked to your Social Insurance or Health Card. If you are out of the province for 6 months, you will have to apply for the health card in the province you are living in. In the past few year, CIC have been monitoring the large number of abusers who take the PNP as a stepping stone for queue jumping, in Oct last year, a new technical bulletin have been published which gave instructions on examining PNP PR at the port of entry for preventing this trend: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2010/ob251.asp

Please know that any abuse of the system will be taken seriously and will be recorded in the immigration record of each individual. Not only it will immediately invalidate the eligibility of your sponsor to sponsor another one, but also on your ability to sponsor your future dependents as well as your chance to become a citizen/re-enter Canada in the future. There is no free lunch for queue cutters, if you are going to Canada through the PNP route, it is your responsibility to live and establish sucessfully in the province that nominated you:

This matter is being taken care of very seriously, so please do not take things for granted unless you have research thoroughly the consequences.

Hello Everyone,

Just some update Medical request April 12, 2013. Medical Done: May 9, 2013. Medical went well

My company might send me to another country for 2 weeks knowledge transfer for my new role in my current job....Do I have to mention that I applied for Canada?
I am hesitant to say since all opportunities might go away considering timeline is different per application.
The knowledge transfer does not have any bond and it is needed for my role...

regards
armitaf

Great info! Funny thing is that the last link was talking about the bad shxts of PNP program in N.B.

I know that exactly the story was because N.B was the first province I stayed in for the first three years in Canada. :-X

People, people, people((( just land, after that you can do whatever the hell you want, move anywhere you want! And FYI IT DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR CITIZENSHIP APPLICATION. in order to apply for citizenship you just need to spend certain amount of time( 1065) in Canada, that's it. It doesn't say anything about staying in the province. It is though true that they can withdraw nomination if you move out of the province, BUT THAT IS BEFORE YOU LAND. So don't listen to people who don't know what they are talking about.read your own post.you wrote it yourself AT THE PORT OF ENTRY.don't disinform people. And do whatever you want with you life. I know hundreds of people who moved out of the province and got passports.IF ANYONE HAS ANY DOUBTS READ THE CHARTER OF RIGHTS!!!

this has happened to many people who ever nominated last year in sask. its just the provincial govt taking steps to find out people who have not lived in the province after being nominated ... i have heard about their plans to limit the stay of provincial nominees in the province for 2 years and some people who went to do landing procedure at north dakota border have been asked to sign an affidavit stating they will live here for 2 yrs ... but cannot confirm all this yet as its not official but certainly something is going on ..

Sounds terrible. Who wants to live in -45? once we get pr its done. I really don't want to live in this province even it has a lot of opportunities and much more. But job is not the only key thing in the life. They did not mention anywhere about it.
If they want us to sign affidavit then what about those who already got pr and did not sign anything like that? I know you are in the same boat not having information. Let me know if you get anything cause I am done with my medical and have plan to go back to Toronto right after I get my pr card.

Why apply for PNP in a province in which you have no intentions of settling? This is dishonest and it is fraud. I can't believe that you are not afraid to write your intentions in this forum. This puts the PNP in jeopardy for other persons who may have real interest in Saskatchewan in the future but because of abuse by others have a difficult time getting the nomination. If you agree to settle and contribute to a province in return for a nomination for pr, then you should live up to your word and keep your end of the bargain to build up and contribute to that province. It's that simple. It's the right thing to do.
