Sandhuhar, Check with NDVO if they accept stamping in person. If yes, that will be the quickest. You can travel to New Delhi, submit PP and photos and get back the PP in a couple of days.

Even for opening a PO Box, you need a local address as it has to be entered in their system. While landing you could say that you are yet to look for a place to live and that you will do in about 2 weeks. They might accept your current address where you live now. The only issue is you will have...

Hi Chappan, If your employer has a Canadian branch, then please check if they can offer you a "remote" employment from their canadian office. Overseas employees of a US company don't have to be on H1B. We have a couple of overseas employees and also a overseas consultant in our company who...

Hello Chappan, 1. To be eligible for canadian citizenship, you have to maintain your PR status by living in Canada and also pay Canadian taxes. 2. You can still work remotely for your US employer either as a consultant (as a Canadian PR) or as an overseas employee without paying US taxes. You...

In my opinion, Calgary has more opportunities since most of the corporate headquarters in Alberta are located there. It is mainly focused on Oil and Gas. I plan to move in to Edmonton next month as my company in Houston TX is opening a branch office. USH1B
