You can move to Toronto anytime after or before your eligibility interview but you need to change your lawyer though and I think you can request your eligibility interviewer to transfer your file in Toronto.
 
Do you have the funds to rent your own apartment or a permanent place to stay. Rents will be doubketo triple.
 
Right now I am not getting any welfare as my eligibility interview is in March. I get to know from another person that you give the address of here only and receive welfare and you can work on cash.and come back on your hearing.

What you are describing is welfare fraud and it is a crime. If caught you could be asked to pay all the money back you received in error, end up in jail and lose your protected status and possibly be deported. Not sure why you didn’t go to Toronto right away if your plan was to go there all along. Assume you walked across the illegal border as well. if you have a legal aid lawyer in Quebec you should inform them that you are going to Toronto. You will have to contact legal aid in Ontario when you arrive in Ontario. If you pay for your own lawyer there is no need to change but expect to Quebec for your hearing and any meetings. You should apply for a work permit so you can start working.

We should be sincere with the country who's providing us protection. I don't like when people do that or give this bad advise to someone.
This is fraud and if you get caught then forget about your Canadian dreams.
