Getting PR in British Columbia... then moving to Quebec...?

Hello,

So I've just had an ITA and so should hopefully get my permanent residency in the next few months :)

I'm currently living in Vancouver, BC.

My question is...
On obtaining my PR, are there any limitations in moving to Quebec (Montreal) ?
I understand that Quebec is using a different system (not Express Entry) and has different requirements if you apply for PR from that province.
Would there be any problems for me going to Quebec with PR obtained in BC?

I spent some time in Montreal before I came to Vancouver and I liked the city a lot.
Perhaps I will settle in Vancouver and stay... but I was just wondering what the situation would be if at some point I decided to go back to Montreal...?

Any tips appreciated.

Thanks!

Immediately. Unless you were nominated by a province. In that case, it will be prudent to at least 'land' in that province before branching out elsewhere.

As a PR holder, you have all the rights that a Canadian citizen enjoys - except probably voting and ability to work in US
