There is plenty of consideration of this stuff in immigration policy and programs, but once people get their PR or citizenship they're unrestricted in where they move within the country. Many choose Vancouver and Toronto, for obvious reasons. There are some programs that require new immigrants to commit to a certain amount of time within a province so that they risk being in violation of the terms of their immigration process if they leave, but for that to make any difference it requires some actual enforcement to establish fraudulent behavior and intent. If the government can't legally establish that there was some fraudulent activity in their applications there is no basis to restrict them from moving anywhere because mobility is a constitutional right for all PRs and citizens.
