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.
