Is there such thing as immigrating to another province in Canada espeacially if you were born in Canada?

Question

because you would be a Manitoban and become a British Columbian? and different flags over the Canadian flag?

Answer 1

You just get in the car or on a plane and go.  No problems.  I do it all the time.  I've lived and worked in several of the provinces and territories.

Answer 2

You can move freely throughout Canada, but you would just need to get a new Health Card, Drivers License and a new Birth Certificate to show when you were issued into the province. It isn't necessarily called immigration though. ; )

Answer 3

You don't 'immigrate' between provinces, you just move there.  There are no restrictions in that sense.

As someone else pointed out, you do need to get a new driver's licence and health card, as well as registering your vehicle in the new province of residence.  

You do not have to get a new birth certificate as someone else said, as your province of birth issues that, not your province of residence.  My  husband was born and raised in Alberta.  He has lived in Manitoba since the mid-80s.  He recently had to get a new birth certificate issued, as he lost his original...he had to apply to Alberta to get one, as he was born there.

People move province to province here all the time.  I'm from Winnipeg (Manitoba) and a lot of my old high school classmates are living in Calgary, Alberta.  My Manitoba born aunts live elsewhere also - one lives in Mississauga, Ontario, and the other in Victoria, BC with her American born husband...those two lived in Port Credit, Ontario prior to moving to Victoria, and were Winnipeg residents for a few decades prior to that.

Each province and territory (10 provinces, 3 territories) has its own flag, but they do not supercede the Canadian flag.

Answer 4

You are moving not immigrating. You remain a Canadian.

Answer 5

You need to get a new drivers licence and health card but that's about it.

Answer 6

If you are moving to a completly different COUNTRY its called IMMIGATING. If your just moving to a different CITY or PROVINCE it's called EMMIGRATING. You are still a canadian citizen.

Answer 7

You can move from one province to another whenever you wish.  There are no formal procedures that must be followed.  The Canadian flag would not change, however, each province does have a distinct flag.
