i am a doctor from india on a work visa. the contract is for one year and can be extended for 3 years.i just landed in canada a few weeks ago.

i would like to know whether i would be able to file in an application from canada.

i went to the canadian immigration website and it says that i need to be in canada for 3-4 years before i can apply.. did i get something wrong.

You can apply now. I'd suggest you to apply asap through Buffalo.

thank you sukh for the reply.. i will try to be an active member of this very helpful forum

Hey doc,

you can apply for pr and i dont know from where you read that you have to stay 3 to4 yrs in canada and then you can apply.

I think you can apply if you have enough points ( check http://www.cic.gc.ca)" rel="nofollow">LINK

one thing more if you have a job in your hand right know then only apply cause lot of ppl like you have a great problem in finding jobs.

Before applying make sure that your Degree will be Valid & You can continue practice after getting your PR.
I know previously it was not possible to continue practice after getting PR without Studying & Residency.

And yes, Post your Findings here for future Aspirants.
