Question before making decision

[Gurinder8055]

Hi everyone so me and my wife planning to move to other province we are currently living in ontario im on spouse work permit my wife is on pswp she recently got a job offer from A company in halifax nova scotia. As we are waiting for ontario pnp international student to open from so long we are running out of time we have 1.5 years left.The thing is i have a good job here good money have to leave everything which is hard for me. The question is can she go there alone till she get pr ? Or we both have to move there

She can move there alone and have you stay behind if that's what you two want to do. Of course, she may be ineligible for the Ontario international student stream when it reopens if she stops residing in Ontario, so if you need a provincial nomination to get PR she should look into her options in Nova Scotia or under the Atlantic Immigration Pilot.

Hey sorry to bring this up again i have consult this with my lawyer too he said you have to move with her to nova scotia too if she applies for permanent residency in nova scotia they can reject the application with the doubt that she would leave the province and go back to ontario to me which is what our plan is im really confused i really dont wanna leave my job and move there if anything you could suggest thanks

He is right. I live in Manitoba and if our province figures out that the applicant has more connections to another province than Manitoba, they refuse the application. If you are directly applying for PR through a Federal program like Canadian Experience Class (CEC) Express Entry, then it wont matter if you guys stay in separate provinces. But if you are applying through a Provincial or Region based program, you both have to be present in the same province or region.

It's not required by the letter of the law (which is why I said no) but yes, some provinces are picky if they think the applicant has too many ties to another province.

The purpose of region based programs is to cater the local labor market. If applicants spouse is residing in another province, its definite they'll relocate after getting Permanent residence. The province wants them to prove their intent to reside and work there and spouse residing somewhere else kills the whole idea.
PS: By law, no province (Except Quebec) can stop such applicants from relocating elsewhere after getting their PR.

I'm aware.

I agree with u to move to nova scotia as am planning to do same. Esorcially since u say she has a job offer. I even got the oinp international student but my employer would not support me. Can we connect so I can chat with yrvw8fe and we could make arrangements. Am planning by endof month to go.
