I'm a US citizen currently living in Canada. I'm currently looking to re-locate to another city, and am considering some cities in both the US and Canada (Toronto and Vancouver, specifically). The ultimate decision of where I end up will likely come down to depending on where I get an attractive job offer. Based on my background, I'm likely to get an invitation to apply. I'm also pretty much at the peak, points-wise, for age, which makes applying now attractive to me.
Which brings me to my question. Aside from the ~$1,000USD financial cost, is there any reason to not apply to be a PR if I end up not using it. My motivation to apply is that I figure it makes me more attractive to Canadian companies if I already have it, but there's a chance I may not end up moving to Canada. If I get it, don't use it, and let it expire, does it hurt my chances of getting it again at a future point (if 10 years down the road I want to move to Canada, for instance). Thanks!
