In Canada on work permit, when can apply for PR?

[Nikel]

My spouse (Latvian) and I (U.S.) just arrived in Calgary at the beginning of Feb on work permit status. I have been working for a month now and my spouse just started her new job this week.

We want to apply for PR and would love to know the process from within Canada? Is it different than from outside Canada? We have 85 points as both skilled workers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

You can't apply in Canada. As you are a US citizen you would apply through Buffalo.

hi all
actually i need some help my wife is in canada now with an open work permit that says dependent on spouse shes trying to get a job as a cook.
she wants to know if she can apply for pr with her dependent open work permit but she says that the employer that a friend referred her to is not really serious. does the employer need to do something so that she can apply for pr or she may apply for pr on her own?

also regarding me i had been dismissed in my previous job as a cook but i still have my close work permit which expires in 2018 i am still searching for an lmia job that is becoming so difficult i am jobless for 3 months now does anyone know any agency or anyone who can help me find an lmia job and later apply for pr if possible.

My status in Canada is work permit (LMIA exempt ICT) which is expiring by 30th May 2017. My employer cannot renew my work permit as I completed the cumulative work permit extension.
My spouse is on open work permit which also expires by May 2017

We both have applied for Express Entry PR application and received ITA. We need to submit all the required documents including the Medical exam by May 24th 2017

My wife is pregnant (thanks to God) and we are in a situation where she cannot proceed with her medical x-ray. I hear that CIC will keep our PR application on hold until the due date. But my question is there any possibility to stay back in Canada after our Work permit expiry? (May 30th 2017)
Initially we thought to get the AOR and apply for bridge open work permit

Please advice
Thanks
