Re: Can I work in Quebec with a PR visa?
It's the date I need to move back to Canada.
Nothing to do with my PR card.

Consider yourself one of the minority who understand the difference

Re: Can I work in Quebec with a PR visa?
Even someone not destined for Quebec can "land" there. The question becomes one of intent. If the POE officer believes that the immigrant intends to reside in Quebec without a valid CSQ, then landing can be deferred until a CSQ is obtained.
More info here:
http://www.immigration.ca/permres-gi...ng_process.asp
"The issue of intended destination has become the subject of a department memorandum. Applicants landing in the Province of Quebec without a valid Quebec Certificate of Selection and who appear destined to Quebec, will not, pursuant to current department directives, be admitted as a landed resident. Where it appears to the POE officer that the intended destination is the Province of Quebec, landing will be deferred until a valid CSQ has been procured.
Applicants who have previously declared their intended destination as being the Province of Quebec and who land outside the province, will generally not incur difficulties. Caution should be exercised. Applicants who have stated an intention to reside in Quebec are entitled to change their destination. At issue is how and when this material change occurs."

In this one it wasn't actually clear to everyone that the OP already was a PR or was going to "land" before becoming a PR. Big difference. At least the discussion was relevant. Which is more than can be said for many other threads.

What? You mean you didn't all bother to read the Charter of Rights and Freedoms when you were studying for your citizenship test????
