Moving after graduation- smart or no

[augustak]

Hello,
Recently I graduated in the college in Canada, and I have applied for the post graduate work permit. Hoping that everything will go right and I will receive it for 3 years, I am looking at the bigger picture now and thinking about Permanent Resident card, and have a question. I am currently in Alberta (been 2 years in Alberta, and 1 year in Manitoba), would it be smart for me to move to the different province, for example British Columbia or Ontario, or would it be better for me to look for a job in Alberta, where I graduate, and then apply for Permanent Resident card?
I have a friend, who suggested that I stay in Alberta for couple more years to get all my papers done and only then move. If I move right now, will I have any issues or delays in receiving Permanent Resident later?

If you are applying for PR through the Canadian Experience Class, it won't matter where you live.

If you want to go through Alberta's Provincial Nominee Programs then yes, it makes sense to stay in Alberta. However, all provinces have PNP programs, and you may be a better fit under one of those. You'll have to do some research to see what makes sense to you.

In general the CEC class is easier than a PNP program if you can qualify and get sufficient CRS points.
