Can I apply for internal/lateral transfers before my start date while on probation?

I accepted a permanent role located in a remote town (starting in 4 weeks), but I want to get to the Lower Mainland ASAP.

I have a few quick questions:

  1. Since I haven't started yet and don't have my IDIR login, can I apply for internal or lateral postings right now?
  2. Realistically, how soon can I transfer or move to a different region after starting?
  3. Does applying for or taking another role during my initial probation period impact my permanent status or cause HR issues?

Thanks for any advice!
