little help!

Hello,
Just wondering if I come over next year under BUNAC to work for a year, can I then apply for a skilled worker visa from within canada when I arrive. If so, what kind of processing times would I be looking at? Any chance of getting the visa before my year is up? Im 26, British citizen, fluent french, work in TV as an editor.
Any help much appreciated!

1. Unlikely that it would be processed in less than a year, unless you had either an Arranged Employment Opinion from HRSDC or a PNP certificate.
2. If you are admitted for 1 year, it has to be a year, you can apply either to London or the US. Less than a year, then only London.
3. The processing times are here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/international/02a-skilled-fed.asp
