From what I have heard, CANADIAN pr takes about 4-6 months after you get an invite . You can easily check if you qualify by going to their website . Might not be an immediate solution , but worth still getting it done

No one will interview you in Canada unless you are a permanent resident. See if you can apply for permanent residency first.

pwc1: i have heard you need a job offer to get into canada...and then pr in one year... if you say we need pr to get job... how will anyone make it into canada

You don't need a job to apply for pr. It's all points driven . Just go to their immigration site and enter your details to see where you are in terms of points . They have a cutoff above which they send an invite

D1 - I just checked and yes, that's definitely an option. It will take over 6 months though. Do you know if it is realistic to first get a job in Canada and then use it to further expedite immigration? Will Canadian employers even consider someone on h1b but no Canadian visa yet?

I am not sure about the closed visa process . Don't want to give you half naked info . Probably worth checking with some of the consultants here to see if you can transfer your h1b before it gets revoked . If you manage to get a receipt at least , that buys you time

Canada market starting to do good n u shdnt have issues finding opportunities !! Once u r hired, visa process should take around 3 months

You can’t initiate shit if you are fired

Or is it a risk given that my visa is expiring in September and I don’t have the extension approval yet?
