Hello

I am software engineer from India having 3 years of experience. I would like to apply for canadian PR and want to settle there.

I want to know how can I apply without help of any agent? Also what eligibility and documents are needed to do so?

How much time it takes to get PR?

I am married and my wife if MPharm.

What are the job opportunities for both of us in CANADA?

Can somebody please guide me and be helpfull?

Below is the link to the CIC website, download their application package (forms) fill it and send it to CIC Nova Scotia, Sydney Canada, While filling the forms if you have any question just ask on this forum. In the first stage you need to send these forms only no other documents. CIC will give response in between 8 - 10 weeks wether you qualify or not. If you do then they will give you 120days to send all your documents to your local canadian office.

Hope this helps.

Saki

ok Do i need to clear IELTS General/Academic before applying?
Its is better to do it before as you will clearly know where you are sitting in terms of points. Many applicants apply without IELTS and write high proficiency for their English but when they sit in the IELTS after receiving 1st approval they struggle to get the result they need and they have to withdraw their applications.

right saki, I dont know about this IELTS that we can go for before apply, my consultant told me once you get AOR then sit for IELTS now I am under pressure and I have to clear atleast 16points covered level. but not possible in some days and even in the 120 days notice there are no more dates available for IELTS GT exams too. I have now only 1chance left and I must have to score for the 16points level bands.

Does not matter if its Academic or General BUT its easy to score points in General. CIC accept both academic and general.
Well all the immigrants who move to Canada start their life from the scratch so its better to do exams and courses once you are in Canada otherwise it will be useless and waste of money because that will be nothing in the eyes of canadian employers.

if you want to score 16 points for language with IELTS this should be the band must you have to got it.
L: 7.5
R: 6.5
W: 6.5
S: 6.5
you will get complete 16 points if you get above bands in GT IELTS.
