Dear QURAX
I am from India, residing right now in Saudi Arabia, I would like to go to canada.
I need to clarify some of my doubts.
I have never gone to Canada neither I have applied before.
- Can I apply for the first time itself as a FSW for a permenant resident visa
Yes you can, no problem
Or
- Do I need to visit canada before applying for PR VISA
No you don't
Or
- Do I need to apply for a temporary resident visa and stay in Canada for few months then apply for PR VISA
No you don't
Usually as of my knowledge no country will provide you with a PR VISA as a new immigrant or to first time visitor, but still when I read CIC programs it confused me that its possible to apply for PR VISA , but CIC website doesn't state clearly that whether a person can apply for PR VISA who has never gone to Canada before.
someone gave you wrong information
Will the canada Immigration issue PR VISA to the persons before they land?Yes, you need a PR visa BEFORE you land
I am planning to prepare my application for FSW now.
Kindly let me know the exact thing. As you all are there, you might have got experience of all these stuff.
