Let's clear this up again.

Section 6 (2)
Every citizen of Canada and every person who has the status of a permanent resident of Canada has the right:
to move to, and take up residence in, any province, and
to pursue the gaining of a livelihood in any province.

---
The moment you landed as PR, you can move anywhere in Canada.

At landing you do have to show that you are trying to settle in NS, or else CBSA officer can refuse entry for misrepresentation. But for that to happen, you do have to go quite far.

No - you don't.

There are no rules saying you have to stay for any certain length of time. Your statement to the PNP is that you intend to settle in your PNP province. This must be true when you apply and land. That's it. If at any point after landing, you want to move, you can.

When there are no rules stating that you should spend any certain amount of time in your PNP province, why would it create a problem with citizenship if you didn't?

"At landing you do have to show that you are trying to settle in NS, or else CBSA officer can refuse entry for misrepresentation. But for that to happen, you do have to go quite far."

As you sign a statement for PNP saying you intend to settle in your PNP province, you should not intend anything else when you land as a PR. Immigration officers are instructed to check when PNP applicants land that they are going to their PNP province. If an immigration officer gets the feeling that a PNP applicant is not going to settle in his PNP province or the PNP applicant actually admits to it, the immigration officer can refuse to land them and send them to their PNP office to clear things up there. Some immigration officers actually go a step further and inform PNP applicants that they must live in their PNP province for 2 years, 3 years, until getting citizenship or in some cases forever but there is no legal base for this.

At landing, you show up at the border. CBSA people will look at your file, ask you a few questions and complete the paperwork. If they find out you have other intentions than staying in the province, they have the right to refuse you there. That includes e.g. a job lined up or a house bought in a different province, and no other support in your favor.

After that point, if CBSA satisfy with your entry, they will sign off CoPR and send you in. You are officially PR and is protected by Charter of Right and Freedom. See signature below
