IEC, Quebec PR, moving to Alberta?
Hi,
I'm a geologist, have an IEC work permit, I live up north in Quebec and work for a Quebec company (approaching 2 years). I have a Quebec skilled worker PR application in progress (maybe coming to the end of that - RPRF paid in June). Unfortunately there's not much work in mining, oil & gas, or geophysics in Quebec at the moment due to political / economical reasons. Does anyone know if finding a job in Alberta would affect my PR application at all? And what about after I have PR - could it be revoked since I wouldn't be in Quebec? At this stage, Alberta would be a temporary thing but I'm also aware that the situation in Quebec may not improve for quite some time...
Thanks
Cat

Re: IEC, Quebec PR, moving to Alberta?
Yes it will. Should you move to Alberta, you will stop completing QC provincial tax forms indicating you are no longer resident in QC and the province will most likeley withdraw your nomination. This has happened to others. If you have PR, you have the right to work anywhere.
