Section 6 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms gives every permanent resident the right to move to and take up residence in any province. Moving after landing does not, by itself, cost you PR. The question is what you intended before you landed. A provincial nominee must intend to live in the province that nominated them (<a href=\"https:\/\/laws-lois.justice.gc.ca\/eng\/regulations\/sor-2002-227\/section-87.html\">IRPR s.87(2)(c)<\/a>). If you never meant to live there, or had already changed your mind and didn&#8217;t say so, IRCC can treat that as misrepresentation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lawgical-firm-line\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawgicalcorp.com\/immigration\/permanent-residence\/\">Lawgical Law Corporation<\/a>, an immigration law firm in Surrey, Abbotsford and Vancouver, BC, advises permanent residents on misrepresentation allegations and appeals; this guide is by Sundeep S. Grewal.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"rule\">What is the rule?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Before landing:<\/strong> a provincial nominee must intend to live in the nominating province.<\/li>\n<li><strong>After landing:<\/strong> you have the right to move anywhere in Canada.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The risk:<\/strong> misrepresenting or withholding a material fact can make you inadmissible for five years (<a href=\"https:\/\/laws-lois.justice.gc.ca\/eng\/acts\/i-2.5\/section-40.html\">IRPA s.40<\/a>). For a permanent resident, that starts with a section 44 report.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Atlantic Immigration Program:<\/strong> you must &#8220;intend to reside in the Atlantic province that issued the endorsement certificate&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/laws-lois.justice.gc.ca\/eng\/regulations\/sor-2002-227\/section-87.3.html\">IRPR s.87.3(2)(b)<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"lawyer-or-consultant\">Why this needs a lawyer<\/h2>\n<p><strong>One lawyer, one file, every step:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>reviewing what you told the province and IRCC, and when;<\/li>\n<li>gathering proof of your plans at the time you landed;<\/li>\n<li>a response to a fairness letter or a section 44 report;<\/li>\n<li>an appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division if a removal order follows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Immigration lawyers are members of a provincial law society (in our case, the Law Society of British Columbia), and only lawyers can appear for you in the Federal Court.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"options\">What are my options?<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Keep the records<\/strong> of your time in the nominating province: lease, job, pay stubs, school enrolment, and why you left (a lost job, family illness, a better offer).<\/li>\n<li><strong>If your plans changed before landing,<\/strong> tell IRCC and the nominating province or territory promptly, even if you already have your Confirmation of Permanent Residence. IRCC says you must tell it if you don&#8217;t plan to live in the province, and material changes must also be disclosed at the landing examination (IRPR s.51(a)(ii)). Since March 30, 2026, the province assesses intent to reside: IRCC may pause while the province decides whether to keep the nomination, and if the nomination is withdrawn, the application can&#8217;t go ahead under it. A genuine change of plans that you disclose promptly is not, by itself, misrepresentation. For the Atlantic program, a decision to settle elsewhere means you no longer meet the requirement for that endorsement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>If IRCC writes to you,<\/strong> answer the fairness letter with documents, not just a statement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>If a removal order is made,<\/strong> a permanent resident can usually appeal it to the Immigration Appeal Division.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"table\">Moving after PNP or AIP PR at a glance<\/h2>\n<div style=\"overflow-x:auto\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Question<\/th>\n<th>Answer<\/th>\n<th>Source<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Can a PR move to another province?<\/td>\n<td>Yes<\/td>\n<td>Charter s.6(2)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Did I have to intend to live in the province?<\/td>\n<td>Yes, as a nominee or under the Atlantic program<\/td>\n<td>IRPR ss.87(2)(c), 87.3(2)(b)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Plans changed before landing?<\/td>\n<td>Tell IRCC and the province promptly<\/td>\n<td>IRCC; IRPR s.51(a)(ii)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Can moving alone cost me PR?<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<td>Charter s.6(2)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Risk of a false statement of intention<\/td>\n<td>Misrepresentation and a five-year ban<\/td>\n<td>IRPA s.40<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>How does it start for a PR?<\/td>\n<td>A section 44 report<\/td>\n<td>IRPA s.44<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"example\">Worked example: the nurse who moved to Surrey<\/h2>\n<p>Example.
