Sponsoring a spouse - inquiry

[pepiyani]

My name is Peter and I live in Ottawa. Recently my sister obtained Permanent resident visa for Canada through the Quebec skilled worker's program. She is planning to come to Canada in the spring with her two children and then she is planning to sponsor her husband. She is planning to stay with us in Ontario and sponsor her husband. My question is whether will be a problem that she is settled in Ontario although she applied through the Quebec skilled worker's program and signed a declaration that once she comes to Canada she will settle in the province of Quebec. Thank you very much for considering my inquiry and have a great day.

Was her husband included in her skilled worker application as a non-accompanying dependent?

There is no law that requires a minimum number of days in the province you immigrate to. Most people recommend to just wait until you receive your PR card, after which there shouldn't be any issue in moving.

There is a thread asking this exact question in the Quebec Immigration part of this forum: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/can-i-apply-for-qswp-then-move-to-ontario-t376632.0.html
