MOVING TO ANOTHER PROVINCE AFTER GETTING PERMANENT RESIDENT

[thess_simple]

Hi everyone!

I just want to ask if there's any law that you need to stay for 2 years on the province where you became Permanent resident before you move to another province|?
I am working now in Prince Edward Island and I am thinking to move to another province to get a better job. But there is few people saying here that I need to stay
here for 2 years before i can move to another pprovince to remain my permanent resident.

I need some advice.Thanks for advance!

No, there is no such law. However, if you applied for your PR through a provincial nominee program, you likely signed a document stating that you intend to live in that province. This must have been true when you applied and when you landed. If you stayed for a few months after landing, nobody would be able to accuse you of anything. If you left as soon as you landed, they might be able to say that you did not intend to live in the province when you landed and so that you had misrepresented yourself at your landing as a PNP applicant intending to settle in the PNP province.
