H everybody. Just want to ask a quick question.
 
Can I apply for permanent residency status while on a temporary work permit?
If so how soon can I apply for my pr status?

Permanent residency and temporary residency are generally distinct from one another, although having experience working in Canada can make you eligible for permanent residency, n the Canadian Experience Class, for example, or by having your employer offer you permanent employment (with an HRSDC LMO supporting the offier) and in the case you obtain PR, which may qualify you for the federal skilled worker program.


FSW applied 6/09, denied (med inadmissible) 12/11. JR leave granted 7/12, discontinued 9/12. Spousal app PPR 9/12. Landed 13 October 2012
