Submitted PR docs under CEC on may 25.
Came to Vancouver as student in sep 2015 then started working in Vancouver from sep 2016 to April 2018.So based on these I got invitation for PR.
Now I am in visitor status and out of work.Meanwhile I accepted a job offer from Montreal.Currently LMIA process is going on and will get work permit by June end.
Mentioned my Vancouver address as my mailing address in PR.
Now my question is will I face any issues with my PR application since I am going to reside in Montreal.I know it depends on VO but like to get ppls advice.

Thanks in advance

please let me know, I'm kinda in the same situation. I applied for PR through CEC in Toronto waiting to be invited. In the meantime I also got an admission in Montréal because I'm planning to go back to school in September. I'm worried that my PR will be rejected in case I move to QC:(

Both of you guys. Wait for your PR before moving. If the VO finds you are currently working in Quebec, it can lead to complications like proving your intention not to reside in Quebec and all. Why create unnecessary complications. I am a victim of Quebec's messed up immigration process. Made a mistake of accepting job offer in Quebec while I could have accepted offers from other provinces.

DON'T DO IT WILL BE MY SUGGESTION.

Thanks for your advise but I’m not going there to work. I’m going there to study. I think it’s different in that case

If its difference in that case, then why are you worried your PR will get rejected ?.
Go ahead and move to Montreal and let us know about your progress so that others will find it useful.
