CEC landing advice. Currently in quebec, moving to toronto

[yodud]

Dear All,

I have just received my COPR. I'm currently working in Montreal and applied for the CEC. I have full intentions of moving to toronto as i am currently heavily applying for jobs and interviewing. During my application process i wrote a detailed letter outlining my family and friends in Toronto, my current efforts to look for my job and my reasons for intending to reside outside Quebec.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? I was planning to land in Toronto and provide my uncle's address for the PR delivery and tell them i'm currently looking for a job. However, I still have a quebec driving license. And if asked, i am currently working in Montreal.

Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Congrats on your COPR, I am in a similar situation. I applied EE under CEC class from Quebec and waiting for decision now.

You can land at any other port of entry other than Quebec and give a non Quebec address to send PR card just to be safe, because If you enter in Quebec, they will ask CSQ.

Would you mind replying your timelines ?

Thanks for the reply. Do you know of anyone who has landed out of Quebec? Are there any particular questions about why one is still in quebec?
My timeline was an application in December. I received my passport request in early May.

I personally do not know of anyone. But many in this forum have done so. Just go thru the forums. Once you are granted a PR, you are free to work and live anywhere in Canada including Quebec according to this:

Living in Quebec might have its own quirks regarding schooling of your kids in English or getting a health card in Quebec. I am not sure about these though.

Hello,
Did you gave Quebec address you gave while landing ? I am in similar situation.
Also, they ask for address proof ?
