Re: PR Card(PNP Ontario),can I relocate to BC?
I'm going to have to offer the other side. I was sponsored by Quebec and I'm not there right now. I didn't have a job (was made redundant) and those on here who know me and work in my industry (mining) will also back me up when I say the job situation is awful. I moved to Ontario as soon as I got a job offer (6-month contract but hoping it'll go full-time next month). By your reckoning, my PR should now be revoked, just because I was a victim of crap commodity prices and was ineligible for EI.
Ive dealt with several cases where this has occurred and IMHO its misrepresentation.
If you want to live and work in BC then apply under their PNP programme and if you don't qualify for the BC programme don't apply under say the Manitoba PNP to circumvent this. Yes there will be cases like yours but why should you be treated differently than a new spouse as per this
If you have been granted conditional permanent residence, you must live together with your sponsor in a legitimate relationship for two years from the day you receive conditional permanent residence. The condition ends after the two-year period.
So say you married a Canadian you would be subject to this and after 12 months you decided to separate you would have your PR status revoked. Why should PNP applicants be treated differently?

on a very similar point , about a year after I received PR after being nominated by MB I received a phonecall from MB iirc pnp section checking that I still lived in MB, another PR brit I knew had the same phonecall.
\I do agree that to be nominated by a province you should have to stay a certain length of time other wise it screws it up for those that follow.

One has to question why Quebec offered to sponsor you without having a job which a lot of other PNP programmes do. Satisfying a particular province that you would be suitable to live and work there without a job offer IMHO causes problems unless your are sponsored under a setting up a business or Entrepreneur. Many immigrants choose certain provinces to apply under as the province they really want to live in they don't qualify under that PNP programme so they are misrepresenting themselves and the province they apply to.
