As a permanent resident (PR) in Canada, you have the right to live and work in any province or territory of your choice. You can also apply for a Canadian passport and travel freely throughout the country.
However, there are a few things to keep in mind if you plan on moving to a new province or territory. First, you will need to update your address with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Second, you may need to get a new driver’s licence, health card and/or vehicle registration in your new province or territory of residence.
And finally, depending on where you move, you may need to apply for a new Social Insurance Number (SIN). You can find more information on these requirements on the Government of Canada website.
Yes, you can stay anywhere in Canada with a valid PR status. There are no restrictions on where you can live or travel within Canada. However, you must comply with all other conditions of your PR status, such as maintaining a valid passport, not engaging in criminal activity, and so on. If you have any questions or concerns about your PR status, you should contact Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for more information.
