12. Can I change the province/city I intend to land? (Canada immigration)
For applicants in the skilled worker category, you do not have to land in
the
city and/or province that you have indicated in your IMM008 form. There IS
one
caveat, however. If you have indicated a non-Quebec destination but try to
land
in Quebec, you might have problems at the border, since Quebec has the
provincial
authority to choose its own immigrants, and has a slightly different
immigration
procedure. If you do have to land in Quebec without a CSQ, you should be
able to
show that you are continuing on to a destination outside Quebec. Evidence
for this
can be in form of an ongoing airline ticket, a lease, an off-Quebec job
offer, etc.
Landing in Victoria, BC, while your intended destination had been Toronto,
ON,
however, will not present you with a problem. The exception to this is
Business
Class/Entetrpreneur applicants, since the minimum investment conditions on
the
granting of such visas differ from province to province.
