PNP Obligation - Working Home Office/Home Worker

[Rich03]

Just a theoretical question. Which I was asked the other day.

If a PNP PR is struggling to find work in his/her province, but has been offered work from another Province, but they are allowed to be a home work/working from home by this new employer (in their nominated Province). Would this be challenged by the Province who provided the PNP, even if they are residing in the province?

Once you become a PR ( through PNP or otherwise) , you can settle down in any province.

I always thought that you are supposed to stay in a province for about at least 3 yrs if you get pnp

No such requirement even though from a moral viewpoint most people would hope there would be some commitment required but there is none post landing and difficult to police anyway.

The only requirement is on initial landing to at least demonstrate to CBSA intent to travel to the PNP province if it is not the first POE, after that free to live and work anywhere.

Yes you have to if you go via PNP.. Read Carefully
Section 6 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is the section of the Canadian Constitution that protects the mobility rights of Canadian citizens, and to a lesser extent that of permanent residents.

Sec. 6 only covers citizens not PR's

Under the mobility rights heading ‘citizens and permenant residents have the ability to move and take up residence in any province to pursue gaining livelihood’

Granted there are a lot of legal words there but ultimately there is no hard rule stopping anyone from moving to another province.

The statement ‘By lesser extent for permanent residents ‘ that I believe is intended to differentiate between citizens and residents for exiting and entering Canada in particular where a citizen has no residency obligation assessed on each entry whereas a PR does which could affect their rights to reside. Hence mobility rights in and out of the country is different depending whether citizen or not.

If there were a hard rule for PNP how would this be policed or funded anyway, better to allow someone to go where the employment is so they can contribute regardless as said whether seems right or not.

The statement to a lesser extent that of permanent residents in itself seems to point out at exceptions and it only says PR's but nothing about if someone has acquired his/her PR via PNP..

Thanks for the reply.

True but there would be thousands of court cases Immigration versus PNP applicants or PNP PRs having status revoked if freedom of movement within Canada were not a right given to citizens and PRs in pursuit of a viable living situation as per the charter regardless of PR program.. It may not be right in many peoples minds but thats the way it is, better to have people happy and employed than unemployed and a drain on resources.
