Hi there , i need some help, My immigration consultant has gone into liquidation , so im told, and as i have spent a lot of money , i don't really want to spend more than i need to. So here goes,

I am already in Canada. Arrived in Aug 08. I have a skilled work permit to Sept 10. But i want to apply for PR.

I have tried to look on the Wiki, but can not find what i am looking for, May be i am so mad at the moment i just can not see.

What i need to know, is this,

What information is needed to get Pr.
Where are the forms
what is the cost
can i do it myself, or do i need to get another representative
What do i need to do next?

Thanks for your help.

Im in Alberta, if that makes any difference.

I am on 2 year skilled work permit.

I think you might need provincial nomination (look up PNP on the wiki) - then when you have that (or should say when your company has the approval to nominate you - you then send in your application for pr.

If you go on CIC website then the forms will be there.

Not too sure how it goes - however our lovely Cassie1000 is going through this process at the mo so may well be along to give you some advice.

Get it done quick though, things have a habit of taking longer than they should - although once your application is in you can apply to extend your TWP on the basis that you have a pr app on.

You could go down the Alberta PNP route - http://www.albertacanada.com/immigra...edworkers.html - or if your skilled worker job is still on the list of 38 - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigra...tions.asp#list - you could apply down the Federal Skilled Worker route - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigra.../apply-who.asp.

I think both would take around the same amount of time, so really the choice is yours.

I have an LMO if this helps, 0621. My head is spinning now, i have looked at the links, but can not find my noc code on there.

So your a retail trade manager? So you can apply under the Skilled Worker route as you (I would imagine) have an arranged offer of employment from your employer? You would need to have this confirmed by Service Canada.

Alberta PNP may be the easiest route for you in this case.

If you want to go down the Skilled Worker with AEO route, then you and your boss need to fill this in first - http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/eng/workplace...s/emp5275e.pdf - and send it to Service Canada at the office closest to you - http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/cgi-b...t&pv=ab&ln=eng
