Have you ever immigrated to Canada through provincial nomination, but lived in other provinces?

The answer is no. . . In view of the contradiction between the residence restrictions stipulated in the provincial nominated immigration plan itself and the customers' requirements for freedom of residence, intermediary companies often say that the visas issued by the Canadian federal government to families applying for provincial nominated immigrants are unconditional immigrant visas, which are no different from Canadian investment immigrants who are allowed to settle freely, so applicants can live where they want without having to settle in the nominated provinces; He even moved out of the Canadian Constitution and thought that "freedom of movement and residence" could be used as an excuse. That was not the case.

First of all, an unconditional immigrant visa is not an irrevocable visa. According to the current immigration law in Canada, even if the federal government has issued an unconditional immigrant visa, if it is later found that the immigrant applicant has committed major fraud (such as a written statement that he will live but will not live), thus misleading the immigration officer to issue a provincial nomination certificate or an immigrant visa, then the unconditional immigrant visa or provincial nomination certificate issued can be immediately revoked and the applicant's family can be forcibly repatriated. In this regard, many official websites of Canadian provincial governments have such tips.

Secondly, Canada is a western country with a sound legal system and credit first. Before issuing the provincial nomination certificate, the Canadian provincial government often signs a written settlement agreement with the applicant: once the immigrant visa is approved, the applicant and his family promise to settle in the province. The Canadian federal government will also indicate the applicant's province of residence when issuing immigrant visas, and regularly check the applicant's residence. If the applicant refuses or interrupts the promised settlement agreement without justifiable reasons, the federal government will not only record this bad credit in the applicant's name, which will affect the applicant's work, loan, naturalization, guarantee and other affairs, but also punish him according to the degree of breach of contract, and in severe cases, he will lose his permanent residence status.
