Hi All, My current will end in early 2019, my employer is planning to apply for Canada Work Visa. I got an IELTS score of 8.0 and currently waiting on my ECA (Expecting it to arrive by mid next week). I would get an estimated CRS score of 478 with my qualifications. Since my US work permit would end in 7 Months approx. , I am not sure if my PR process would complete within next 7 months, so I am planning to apply PR with express entry in parallel to employer sponsored work Visa. -- Can I apply employer sponsored work visa and PR in parallel ? -- Did anyone face this unique situation ? which option did you choose ? -- Should I tell my employer about this situation ? Or just ask them to go ahead with Canada work visa ? Any suggestions are welcome. P.S : I want to stay with my current employer atleast for next few years
If you have a Canadian work visa, your PR will be fast tracked.
File PR after work visa is approved and you start working in Canada. You can do this in parallel but no reason to do it in parallel.
You should get your PR in 6 months max .Both can go in parallel
Is Apple relocating you to Canada? Which location? That is awesome if true
Might be Vancouver. No confirmation yet.
-- Can I apply employer sponsored work visa and PR in parallel ? Yes, you can. I don't see why not as they are two different processes. -- Did anyone face this unique situation ? which option did you choose ? I'm applying for my PR via Express Entry on my own and my employer is applying for my work permit. -- Should I tell my employer about this situation ? Or just ask them to go ahead with Canada work visa ? You aren't required to tell them CIC claims that most of express entry cases will be approved within 6 months, but most of my friends who work in tech got their approved within 2-3 months.
Good to Know. Thanks. Will PM you.
If you have the documentation ready then it would take around 4-6 months.
Did you moved to Canada?
You mean move*

How many hours per week would you work for $1M TC
Exactly same situation. But it didn’t occur to me why PR and work VISA shouldn’t go together.. I mean USA immigration is totally broken and fucked up. But Canadians are smart..
