Hi,

My PR is pending, in fact waiting for PP Request.
I've got my Masters Degree in Computers an about 10 years of experience (7 years in US). I am considering to move to Canada before the PR come through.
Is it possible to get a Job in Canada while living in US and then go or go and find a Job after getting a Visit Visa.
If any body did this before, Please share your experience with this.

Thanks,
Jag.

You would need a working visa, either a work permit (which would be tough to get in IT without some exceptional skills, given the number of IT types hanging around here complaining they cant get a job), or if you are a US citizen then maybe there are some provisions within NAFTA for a fast track visa like the US TN1. Without the legal right to work you would have your work cut out landing a job, but it has been known to happen, and as you sound like you are near the end of the process maybe an employer could be talked into holding a positon for you until you are landed as a PR.

Good Luck.
