Job Offer........
Pre-Assessed..
What would happen if someone decides to move to a different province after realizing of better opportunities somewhere else, could that generate future problems? I would like to hear from someone with experience in that path i know this has been discussed before but i qualify for a pnp and the only thing keeping from submitting my application is not being able to live the canadian dream of living whereveri want and doing a job that i like
 
I did not get a PNP, so first of all congratulations to you.

Secondly I would be careful if you try to break the guidelines you outlined you would take to IRCC. remember it is a binding legal document in which you stated you would try to settle in the Province you were nominated in. Breaking such a plan until the 6-12 month mark could have consequences. One possible consequence might be finding it hard to get your Canadian citizenship.

As far as I know, there are no consequences. As a PR, you have the right to live and work anywhere in Canada.

So really, it's a question of morals.
When you accept PN from a province, you are declaring that you will do everything you possibly can to make a life in that province.
If you think you won't be able to get a job or make a life in the province you qualify for, then you shouldn't accept a PN from them.
If you're hoping to get PN from one province, while planning your life in another province, what you are doing is lying.
It's morally wrong, but it's not a crime.

The general consensus on the forum is that you should spend at least 1 year in the province that nominated you, and do everything you possibly can to make a life in that province. If, after those 12 months, you can't possibly make it work, then you can think about moving.
 
I know it is not right using a province as a brigde the last thing i want to do is something that could afect my pr or even my citizenship but it is becoming really hard to get a job offer from over seas and for those below 450 chances of getting an ita without a pnp are practically null, provinces where jobs are abundant dont offer pnp without job offer, and there are these provinces which offer no job offer pnp but where there are not as many opportunities, everything seems to be so complicated
 
Better to stay in the nominated province. If you are unable to get jobs, then you can move out.

IMO, please make sure you live and work in the province that nominated you until you officially become a PR. As many forum mates already mentioned in different threads, being a PR of Canada gives you Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom- Mobility Rights to freely work and live anywhere in Canada. No one really knows if this could be seen as red flag when someone applies for citizenship as there haven't been any denied citizenship cases being reported.
 
I think you should try everything you can first. You can't see the opportunities before you get there. You can see a lot of pictures, websites, job ads, but when you get there, that's the real thing. From home I couldn't get any jobs, I got here and got 3 job offers in one day. And also, you can't know if you will like the place or not. You have a reason to immigrate here, keep it in mind, and don't worry about things that you don't even know yet.

Good luck!
