Dear Tarun,

You can file your PR application from Visa Post at Buffalo, USA. It only accepts Regular Applications and as such you have to complete and submit entire set of forms, along with supporting documents in one go. The set can be downloaded from CIC website : www.cic.gc.ca

The current processing time is 15 -18 months and you are advised to file it as soon as possible so that you can get the PR before your current work permit expires

Best wishes

Praveen
