Moving to Montreal after soft landing

[javisam376]

Hi,

I did a soft landing about 1 year ago and I am planning on moving this August. I have close relatives living in Montreal so I am going to stay with the initially until I get on my feet. I read that for first / soft landing there could be some risks if landing in Quebec as they have a different immigration process, so my question is: Would I be OK if I take a flight directly into Montreal and declare I will stay with my relative or better to go through Ontaro and then take bus / rent a car?

Thanks.

I don't understand your question. You said that you have already landed 1 year ago.
You are now a PR and you can travel to any city. What do you want to do with you flight to Montreal again? There is nothing to declare except may be goods to follow?

Since you already soft-landed, you are a PR now and can travel directly to Quebec.

I drove from Toronto last time and it was a very, very long drive. Train might have been a better choice.

I soft landed, so I stayed for about 1 week and then got back home (South America). I got my PR card mailed but I remember on the soft landing posts that they mentioned there was some risk if first landing into QC since they have a different immigration program, so I wanted to double check before booking my flight to Montreal to move for good.

As far as I know, there is only 1 landing process.

It may be different for Quebec. But I doubt it. Once you are a PR, I think you are free to live anywhere.

If you have received PNP then better to stick to that province for few months and have proof that job search didn't work out in that particular province.

Why for few months? Why not for few days or few years?

That's nothing compare to my driving between Calgary and Vancouver. Last time, I drove from Ottawa to Toronto and I called it a short drive.

coz few days and few decimal years make few months

• Which areA has most Indians in Montreal.
• My son is 18 months old, we would want him to start with french school so that he can pick this language easily. Do you see any problems with this.
