Ok, I'll take a shot at this...

LinkedIn. Have a kicka**, profile :). Network, network, network :)! And read the Settlement Issues & Finding Work in Canada fora on this site. Provinces also provide services to new immigrants to help find employment. A general observation would be that it's hard to find jobs without being...

Where did you read this? CIC processing times for PR vary wildly, depending on which visa office processes the application. But yes, as a general observation, time is measured in years in many cases.

Looks like you are good to go :). A copy of your job contract, LMIA, and if applicable, certificates for any specialised training relevant to the job. When are you coming, and to which province? Good luck!

Teaching is regulated by provinces, so you would need to look up each one individually. As an example, here are the requirements for BC (I googled "teaching in BC): https://www.bcteacherregulation.ca/Teacher/InternationalGraduates.aspx

Are you eligible for an IEC (Young Professional category)? There might be a few places left. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/iec/index.asp?country=fr&cat=yp

These are listed as essential documents by CIC. It saves time to complete them in advance. If you don't, you'll be asked to fill them in on landing. If you don't have goods accompanying, and/or goods to follow, you won't need which ever is applicable. Does it sometimes happen that CBSA...

Apply for your whv (the programme is open now). Once you receive your LOI, you can flagpole at the border, or visit the U.S. and activate your whv on returning to Canada.

Neither. Leave this section blank. CBSA will sort it out.

No the period to be assessed is not optional! Yours would be from the date you landed in January 2011 to today (if today is the day you are applying to renew your PR card

If you hold a UK passport, you are allowed to visit Canada for up to 6 months without a visa. So yes, you can come for a month and during that time network for job possibilities :). That said, I wouldn't rock up at the border and say "hi I'm here to look for a job" !! ;) You are coming to...

Of course, if CIC requests something, always provide it ! :).

No
