Hello,
Thank you for sharing your question with us.
Regarding your question about your residency requirements, regardless of where you live in Canada, your residency requirements are the same. To meet these residency obligations, you must be physically present in Canada for at least 730 days (2 years) in every 5-year period. There is no change that needs to be made to your PR card.
Regarding your driver's license, you can find some detailed information in our Settlement.Org I have a driver's licence from another province in Canada. How do I get an Ontario driver's licence? article.
Regarding your SIN, there is no change that needs to be made.
Regarding your health card, it may be helpful to know though that your valid health card from your former province will continue give you health insurance coverage based on that province's plan during this three-month waiting period.
According to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care website,
b) If you move to Ontario from another province or territory where you had provincial/territorial health insurance coverage:
If you move to Ontario directly from another province and apply for coverage, your OHIP coverage will begin on the first day of the third month after establishing residence in Ontario, provided you were insured in your previous province or territory.
Your valid health card from your former province will continue to provide you with health insurance coverage in accordance with that province/territory's plan during the waiting period.
You can find some information on what you will need to apply for OHIP in our Settlement.Org How do I apply for a Health Card (OHIP)? article.
