GeekyPM,
I'll reflect what others have said. Jobs are challenging to find, to say the least, especially, if you need work permit sponsorship. Having said that, you have US experience that will be viewed very favorably.
For PR, you should first check if all of your applicable professions qualify for PR. If you do, according to Govt's promise, you might be able to get your PR within few months. Visit www.cic.gc.ca and get knowledgable about the PR process.
Since you have lived in the US for so long, you would find Canada a familiar place to live. However, you also have to realize Canada is a different country. Hence, you will find living expenses, tax systems, etc, etc, etc different from the US. There are ways to mitigate the impact, but you need to first concern yourself regarding job opportunities and/or PR possibilities.
Best wishes.

Taxes are high because you get free healthcare!!
You want to see poor healthcare? Drive down south of canada and say you are unemployed. Record the look on the care givers face.

Hello All,
Won't cry my eyes out, but after living in US for 9 years seems my Green card is landing in trouble. I won't lie, I love living in US and quite used to the life style and I think Canada can offer the same (or better).
I've been trying to read on internet & watch the videos on youtube, but still not clear what I should be doing, e.g. How to :
1.) Get a job in Canada while in USA
2.) Get a job with a PR associated with it, so I don't land in the same boat as US
3.) Identify which jobs can sponsor my PR
I think I'll be here(USA) another 1 year, and want to start preparing so I'm not digging the well when thirsty. Need the guidance/advise from fellow Desi's/Canadians as to how I should proceed. I'm not sure if people use head-hunters in Canada, but if there is a good one who takes care of the PR along with the job I'd be interested in knowing them too.
Something about me, in case that helps :
Computer Engineer, have close to 13 years of experience with some certifications (Sun Java architect 5.0/PMP). I've been told I'm a good PM (hopefully true !!) and can geek out on many technologies.
Would appreciate any pointers you guys have. Thanks.
take the below steps (A,B,C)Three steps in parallel
A>
1> start learning french by enroling in proper college
2> get french score upto 4 min
3> Apply for quebec PNP program
B>
4> At the same time, keep applying for IT jobs.
5> If u get one based on work permit, go for it. Then in one year u can apply for PR
C>
Since you are living & working in US for long time. Must have some money.check if under investor program under PNP in one of lessor known canada provience, you qualify for PR in canada
