PERMANENT RESIDENCY:Provincial NomineeRuss Weninger

Barrister, Solicitor, Notary Public

If I apply for permanent residency through a provincial nominee

program in, say, Saskatchewan, is there anything preventing me from

moving to a place like Calgary, Alberta once I have become a

permanent resident?

Once you obtain

permanent residency, you

can move to any part of the country

you like.

That being said, if you are sponsored through a provincial nominee program and there is some doubt that you actually intend to reside in the province of your application, you may be denied as permanent resident when you attempt to enter Canada.

Also, it should be noted that provincial nominee business streams require the

applicant to put down a sizeable deposit.

If you fail to reside in your province of nomination after being a permanent

resident, you may end up forfeiting your deposit.
