I am being the PA in my case, and have been nominated by SINP
I shall be landing by this year-end to Saskatchewan for the initial landing formalities. would stay around a month in Saskatchewan and then I shall return to my home country to prepare myself for the final move.

However, I intend to study further in my field and have shortlisted a course at Concordia University, Montreal.

I intend to make my applications at Concordia University and upon securing my admission, I intend to re-enter Canada and start my course. Next year by June-July-2019, I might land in Montreal (this time as a PR). Would it be an issue ?? Since I was nominated by SINPand received my PR through SINP, would I be under the scanner at Montreal airport ??? or would I be considered a Federal-PR and shall enjoy free movement rights as expressed above.

However, since I am a PNP candidate from SINP I have checked the option of taking a similar/same course in Saskatchewan, but the quality and credibility of the course is not at par with the one in Montreal.

What do you think @legalfalcon.

Do you think I have any issues here... or can I go ahead with the way I am planning right now. (Land-initially at Saskatchewan, stay for a month, complete all formalities, fly-out back. Apply for Concordia University, after securing admissions, re-land at Montreal, undergo the university-course and then see which is the best suitable option - Saskatchewan or Montreal or any other place(Depends on the job opportunities).

Can I do that...?

I have been living in ON for 2 years now, as a temporary worker. I was nominated by OINP 3 months ago.
when I get my PR, will these 2 years I spent here before being nominated count towards the 2 year requirement? or does the "2 years" figure apply to the post-nomination period only?

Hello Experts,

I have a friend who got a "Procedural Fairness Letter" from BC PNP that she misrepresented herself in her PNP application(Lied about her Job in application). so she replied back that it was done by her immigration lawyer and she did not know. 99.9% she will get declined for PNP.

Now she is about to merry someone with PR. So my question is:
1). Can misrepresenting in BC PNP result in her being inadmissible to Canada?
2). Can misrepresenting in BC PNP effect federal applications?
3). Can her mistake made in BC PNP effect her spouse visa that she will apply after marriage?


Thanks a lot in advance...

@legalfalcon - Can you please suggest if I can leave province after staying in my nominated province for 2 years? There are 2 reasons - 1) Because of Organization restructuring, my job might go and 2) My sister would be coming to some other province. So, we are planning to stay together. Will it be a legal and logical and solid reason? Kindly suggest

Hi folks!
I got my PR under Alberta PNP program and it's been more than 1 year I am residing in Alberta. I am remotely working for a company which is registered in BC. My question is can I move to Ontario on the grounds that I have my family members (blood relation) there and I want to stay with them?

Hey legalfalcon, I have got PR under OINP program. Can I live in Ontario but work in BC remotely (work from home)?
Is the issue only with residence? Or a work place in a different province too considered misrepresentation?

@legalfalcon
As per law, it is only "intent to reside."

Hi @legalfalcon Thanks for the detailed post about PNP obligation. Now due to the pandemic most companies are allowing remote working. So if I am getting an opportunity to work from my nominated province remotely but my company is located in another province then which province will get the tax? Will it be an issue if the company pays tax to the province where its located and not to the province where I am located. Is this allowed for PNP nominated candidates?

As a PR, you can work for any employer ad even start your own business. What matters is that you reside in your nominating province, it does not matte whom you work for and who gets taxes.

Also, you pay taxes to the province you live in.
