...it's not safe to change lanes in an intersection (short of an emergency avoidance situation). It is not legal here in Ontario (as Trev points out) and I didn't realize it was allowed anywhere... You have to complete the turn in the lane you start in, though it is very common for drivers not to obey this. Also, I can think of at least 1 intersection nearby where they've painted the lines so the 2 left turning lanes end up in lanes 1+2 around the corner rather than 3+2 (lane 3 is cross hatched for a short distance also). The right turners from the other direction have a merging "lane". Quite awkward.
As a right turner, I always wait for a safe gap, especially with a left turn signal. Often drivers switch lanes quickly thereafter + I was taught to assume everyone is trying to hit me... that's served me pretty well...
