Applying for permanent residency

[ice]

I would like to apply for permanent residency in Canada. I acquired my first degree in Canada. I am aware that there are three categories to which I can apply but i really dont know which one would suit me better. And would it make sense to apply to the provinces that have a shortage of young people, or do it not matter.

R u currently in canada? If yes then you could apply from canada and you do not need to show that large sum of funds ($10000)

Hello,

My wife & I got Canada Visa (Saskatchewan Province) which is expiring in July 2017.

We cant go there for long term as of now.

Can we both go there for 1-2 weeks,apply for PR and provide a local address and come back?

Once PR Card arrives, our friend can courier us that?

Then we can go to Canada later whenever we want to?

Is the above option legal and possible?

Regards,
Abhishek

Yes - you can do that. Keep in mind that to keep your PR status you must live in Canada for 2 out of every 5 years. So if you stay out of Canada for three years, you will then need to return and live here for 2 years straight.

Hello,

Thanks for your response.

Living straight 2 years after 3 years is not an issue.

My only concern was if we don't arrive till July 2017, our VISA will expire and we cant stay there long for this time.

So landing in Saskatchewan once and applying for PR Card at our friend's address. We can come back and then he can courier us.This should be legal and accepted and we should not face any issue when we go to Canada after a couple of years.

Abhishek

Unless they ask you to pick up the PR card in person at the local office or if they want you to go in for an interview.

If they are doing PR landing so this is very first PR card, then it will be mailed and there will not be any interview for the card. Being asked to pick up card in person is for PR card renewals.
