What happens after I obtain my citizenship?

I know that if I enter Canada as QSW or through a PNP, I'm not suppose to move from the place I agreed to live in, in order to preserve my PR (right?).

Now, my question is, what happens after I become a canadian citizen? I'm thinking that once I have my citizenship aproved, I should be able to move wherever I want. Am I correct?

Thanks a lot.

Well, I believe that once you have landed with your PR, you are free to move, not necessary to wait for the citizenship. My friends did it.. They got PR with FSW, landed in Toronto and came to Montreal after few days.

If you have got visa under PNP/QSW you are obliged to remain in that particular region/province for a specified period of time. However, once you become Canadian Citizen, you are free to move anywhere in Canada.

That's exactly what I'm thinking. I'm not sure though, since I haven't read it anywhere.

Maybe I got the wrong information.. not sure about PNP, but I was told we are free to move after getting Pr under QSW (I applied under QSW).
Where can we get such information?

I remember now that I know an italian couple who got the PR under the QSW and after spending 6 months in Montreal, they moved to Vancouver because they struggled finding a job.
Also, look here:

It is not necessary to wait until getting the citizenship!!

No, once you become Canadian Citizen, you are free to move anywhere (not just Canada)!
