Relocating from Other Province to Quebec for PRs

[MaG712]

Hi,
I am a PR and I'd like to relocate to Quebec preferably from July as I am moving from Alberta . Can you please guide
1. How to apply for healthcare and driving license in Quebec ?
2. Further down the line does it create any challenge either when applying to renew PR or citizenship ?
3. What other things to be noted when relocating to Quebec?

1. Go on the Quebec government site and read through how to do it.
2. No.
3. Pay higher taxes. If you have children will go to French school unless you put them in private school. Services are in French so want knowledge of the language.

If you are working remotely for your employer is there a reason you are moving to Quebec? Are you fluent in French? If you think parent sponsorship will be faster if you move to Quebec that is unlikely.

Yes. I speak French. I already got my mother's super visa approved. I work remotely. Does this restrict my relocation in any means? Please explain.

A supervisa is not sponsorship. For a variety of reasons it is fairly unusual to relocate from Alberta to work remotely for your employer from Quebec. Typically people have a specific reason to move Quebec if they work remotely for an employer in another province.

I understand. But PRs, I believe they have the right to move across Canada. Don't we ? if yes, how does this relocation will be considered an hiccup?

Never said that PRs don’t have freedom of movement. The one caveat can’t be right after receiving PR.

 

[MaG712]

Can you someone please tell me what else i should take care after arriving to Quebec? I am aware that I should apply for healthcare on day 1 as it can take upto 3 months. But besides that, what other documents/submissions I need to complete/do post-arrival?

Please enlighten.

Thanks.

PR's have a right to move anywhere in Canada however, it would depend on how long you have had PR status - and whether you applied for PR under a Provincial Nomination route.
Please be aware that if you received PR status from Provincial Nomination it would be frowned upon to move to another Province until you have lived in the nominating Province for several years.. there is even a risk of losing PR status if it's less than a year. (No real intention to remain).

There is no such risk. This is a myth.

I did not get PR via PNP. So there is no such red flag in my case. But your narrative is so terrifying for anyone who is totally unaware of the ground reality.

To be fair IRCC is exploring how to enforce this. Believe I read it in the gazette sometime this year. One of the huge frustrations of many of the provinces because makes it tough to make any plans surrounding skilled labour through immigration.

Can you give a link to that release? I would like to read it. Thanks.
