I just received a private e-mail from someone at Immigration Canada stating that: - immigrants ARE asked which province/city they intend to move to - they are usually interviewed by reps from that province as well as Immigration Canada - their destination of choice can effect their chances of getting in (e.g. job category they're looking for and what's needed in that particlar province) - these 'port of entries' effect federal transfers to the provinces to cover costs for new immigrants - the moment someone lands in Canada and has their passport stamped they are free to move to whichever province or city in the country they desire Bottom line, if someone wants to move to Quebec but feels the chances there are slim, there is nothing to stop them from applying for say Nova Scotia or B.C. and then getting on the first train or plane to Montreal once they have arrived.
