Changing my destination, do I need a CSQ?

Hey guys, really need some advice here :

Through EE, the Federal Skilled Worker program, I got my immigration visa a few months ago, and I was planning on moving to Toronto (that's what is stated on my PR confirmation). However, for practical reasons, I'm giving Montréal a try, see how I like it and then decide, so I'll be staying there for a few months, maybe a year.
- Is it ok if I change my destination?
- Do I need a CSQ now? if so can I apply for one once I get to Montréal?
- What are the documents I'll need once I land?

Thank you in advance,

Thank you in advance,
1.- You cannot land in Montreal / Quebec Area until you have a valid CSQ. As you know, Quebec has it's own immigration procedures, so if you land in Montreal your PR may be refused because you declare through EE process you won't live or work in Quebec.

2.- You'll need a CSQ before your landing in Mtl. (through CEC, QSW, PEQ programs)
