Waiting for PR Card after landing - add your case here

[fsw_2014_2281]

Oh, and in answer to your question about resigning... you're a permanent resident from the moment you land, so you are free to work and study for any company or institution, and can live anywhere in Canada. The card is just the proof, but there's nothing preventing you from being allowed to do this. Resign with no fear!

@quink..did you receive aor mail for pr card for all family members or only the principal applicant... So one mail refers that the familys pr cards are all in process? Please clarify

I was the only applicant; I did not immigrate with family. So I'm not sure what the answer to that question would be, sorry.

I respectfully disagree.

Subsection 75(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations states that the federal skilled worker class is hereby prescribed as a class of persons who are skilled workers and who may become permanent residents on the basis of their ability to become economically established in Canada and who intend to reside in a province other than the Province of Quebec.

Do some people in the FSW class have a restriction listed in their CoPR? This page says the following:

As a permanent resident, you have the right to:
...live, work or study anywhere in Canada...

I think the intention to reside in a province other than Quebec is important right up to the point of actually landing. They can stop you from landing if they suspect you intend to go directly to Quebec. However once landed as a Permanent Resident, you are free to change your mind at some point in the future and move where you please.

On my CoPR under conditions it says "00: None". Given a PR can live "anywhere in Canada" and I have no restrictions, moving to Quebec should be absolutely fine, no?

Technically speaking, after you land, the mobility rights guaranteed by the Charter kick in and since it has maximum legal power over any other act Section 6 will apply to any PR:

Every citizen of Canada and every person who has the status of a permanent resident of Canada has the right:
to move to, and take up residence in, any province, and
to pursue the gaining of a livelihood in any province.

However, it is not guaranteed that CIC will take the breach of IRPA lightly when the immigrant applies for Citizenship or renewal of PRC. There have been many instances of rejection based on QC residence of FSW applicants who were unable to provide definitive proof of moving out of province after being granted PR status. Of course, you can sue them if this takes place, but it will incur legal fees amounting to around 3-6k and it will delay processing by several years.

So, no, I would strongly advise against moving to QC. But the final decision rests with each individual, of course.

That's interesting, I hadn't considered that. Right now I don't intend to move to Quebec but it's something to do further research into should that ever become an option.

I would imagine that having lived in BC for 4 months now (and still counting), if I moved to Quebec it would be easy to show that I "intended" to stay in BC when I landed, but my circumstances changed (unexpected job offer in Quebec for example). But definitely one for legal advice on just to make sure.

You can come to quebec normally.
But fir example if you want to apply for the driving license you should have certificat de selection quebec or proof of residency in quebec such as phone or electricity bill.
Other than that they only ask for your Corp or pr card in your case
