Quebec v/s federal

[PR137]

Hey all

So i'm getting my PR thru the family sponsorship program on the federal level. Will b landing in Ottawa.

However, I wish to stay and work in Quebec. Is that possible?

Also, what r the implications for the RAMQ (health insurance), the SIN card and the drivers licence?

Hi there,

As far as I know, once you land, you're a permanent resident and you can move across the country.
I have two uncles in Canada, one which landed in Quebec and the other in Ontario and both ended up settling down in the opposite province roughly a month after landing (Many many years ago, so things may have changed).

However, I don't know what that implies in terms of RAMQ, SIN, etc. because I would imagine that you would have to get a CSQ.

Perhaps someone else has more info on this topic?
