But these rights are for Citizens...We will not be becoming citizens instantly after getting PR. I think people having PR will have some limitations on moving to another province, especially if they get Nominated by a province.. but not fully sure about it.

Whoever told you that? These rights apply to permanent residents as well. Did you actually read section (2)? I went to the trouble of quoting it. The PNP issue is whether you ever really intended to reside in the nomination province. If you didn't, you could be accused of misrepresenting yourself. The OP has lived in Ontario for a good time, so it's not a case of misrepresentation.

Its clearly mentioned in mobility rights, every Canadian citizen and permanent resident can live and move to any place in Canada.
So one can move anywhere with PR.
