If you received permanent residence through a Provincial Nominee Program, are you required to stay in the province that nominated you? Many new permanent residents are unsure whether they are legally bound to remain there or whether moving to another province could create problems in the future.

While permanent residents have the right to live and work anywhere in Canada, your declared intention to reside in the nominating province also plays an important role. Before making any decision to relocate, it is important to know how these factors may affect your long-term immigration status.
