I received a CoPR recently via the Express Entry(https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio.../services/immigrate-canada/express-entry.html) Federal Skilled Worker program, and I wish to do a soft landing in Vancouver/Toronto in January 2023 and return back to my home country after collecting my PR card. I eventually want to move to Canada permanently in mid-2024.
I wanted to know if there are any issues with me moving to Montreal, since it holds its own selection process(CSQ). In particular I have a few concerns:
- Getting a health card/other documents like drivers' license, etc using the PR
- Would this stay in Quebec get flagged during the citizenship process in the future?

You should really be showing that you attempted to relocate to the province you applied to or at least any province but Quebec. How long will you be spending in a province other than Quebec. If you only do a short landing with no plans on settling and move permanently later on directly to Quebec that does not look good since you don’t have CSQ.

There's no issue with you moving to Quebec once you are already a PR. As a PR you have a legal right to move wherever you want within Canada.
It is not a flag at the time of citizenship, so you need not worry.
