Section 6(2) grants mobility rights to which of the following?

• A. To move to and take up residence in any province and to pursue the gaining of a livelihood in any province
• B. To move to and take up residence only in the province of birth
• C. To move to any country
• D. To reside in the same province for life only

Answer: (A)

Mobility rights mean you can move around within Canada and establish yourself in different provinces. Section 6(2) says a citizen has the right to move to and take up residence in any province, and to pursue the gaining of a livelihood in any province. That combination protects both where you can live and where you can work across provincial borders. It’s about internal Canadian movement, not moving to another country (which is handled by other parts of the Charter). So the best understanding is that the right covers relocating to any province and seeking work there. The rights can be limited by laws that apply generally in a province, but the core idea remains: you can move and work in any province.
