Work permit for Alberta and PNP though Ontario

[mansi14feb]

Hi Experts,

I desperately in need of advise on my situation.

I have received PNP through Ontario, submitted ITA and waiting for COPR. On the other hand, my employer is filing a work permit for Calgary, Alberta. I will be travelling from US to Calgary in a month from now.

1. Should I send a letter to CIC staying that my employer has applied for a work permit to temporary work in Calgary, AB? Will that impact my ongoing application in any way given that it is through PNP?

2. I will be in Calgary, AB when I will receive my COPR. Do I have to travel to immigration office in Ontario somewhere to prove that I am already present in Canada? Would they allow me to continue working in Calgary given that it is temporary and with the assurance that my employer will send me to Ontario to work on another project after the completion of Calgary based project soon?

Please help!

Thanks
Kapil Agarwal

IMO moving ahead with the Alberta work permit is a bad idea if you want the Ontario PNP application to work out. The Alberta work permit demonstrates an intent to settle in a province other than Ontario and will put your PR application at risk of being refused. You can certainly move ahead with the work permit. Just be prepared for the possibility that this may negatively impact your PR application. If PR is the top priority and you don't want to take any chances, don't go forward with the work permit.

If I move to Ontario on a work permit and work remotely for Calgary based client and travel twice in a month, will that work?
