Hi Jean Pierre,
Thank you for sharing your situation with us.
According to a call centre agent at the Ministère de l’Immigration Diversité et Inclusion, as a Permanent Resident of Canada, you do have mobility rights. This means you can live and work anywhere in Canada. However, applying under a Provincial Nominee Program and immediately moving to another province may be seen as misrepresentation.
The information provided above is not legal advice. If you want legal advice please consult a community legal clinic or a lawyer about your particular situation.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
