    LMO not required for IT experts?

    Yeah, the job offer..this is what I just cannot arrange. Getting the LMO is just hassle for the employers and I don't think either that they would wait 2-3 months until I get my TWP. Thanks again and best of luck to you.

    PR following 1 year course in canada

    I do not agree with verma. 1.You may get a work permit for a period no longer than the length of time you studied. In this case 1 yr. 2. You can get a PR visa faster if you go for the opnp International Student With Job Offer Stream and if this program is a postgraduate course. So you don't...
