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
