I am working in Montreal on an open work permit which expires in July 2018. My husband has a student visa for his course in McGill. Is it possible for him to apply for the express entry from montreal under the skilled worker category? Since I already have a job in montreal and am working with a local firm will it impact the application? or will it be an issue? What is the average time to get the PR?

Whether you are currently in Canada studying or working or are
currently abroad you can submit your application in express entry
if you qualify. If your husband has a study visa, he can
definitely apply for express entry assuming he qualifies. You can read more about the requirements here: http://www.immigration.ca/requirements-federal-skilled-worker-program/" rel="nofollow - http://www.immigration.ca/ If you go through the federal program, the fact that you work in Quebec still allows him to apply but if he receives an invitation to apply for permanent residence, he will need to show proof he intends to relocate to another Canadian province because Quebec is the only province excluded from the Federal program as they have their own immigration process. If you are included in his federal application, you will also have to show proof that you intend to relocate to another province. Please also note that if you have a year of full time employment in Canada in an NOC 0, A or B, you would qualify to apply for PEQ https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/become-candidate/eligibility/find-national-occupation-code.html" rel="nofollow - https://www.canada.ca/en/ ------------- Colin Singer, Canada Immigration Lawyer & Managing Partner, http://www.immigration.ca" rel="nofollow - immigration.ca
