I am a new permanent resident in Canada.
1. Can I live somewhere other than the “city of destination” on my Confirmation of Permanent Residence?
2. Will this impact in any way my future application for a new PR card or for the nationality?
Also,
3. can I move freely from one province to another? say if I find a better job? will I need to get a different Health Card if I do that? (i.e. from the new province)

No issues in any of those points.
3. Your current province will cover during the waiting period of your new province. You need to be more specific to your situation/plan on which provinces instead of asking broader question for which no one can answer. Refer to respective health system of that province to know the rules.

What permanent residents can do
As a permanent resident, you have the right to:
  • get most social benefits that Canadian citizens receive, including health care coverage,
  • live, work or study anywhere in Canada,
  • apply for Canadian citizenship,
  • protection under Canadian law and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
You must pay taxes and respect all Canadian laws at the federal, provincial and municipal levels.
