Hi,
I am currently on a 3 years work permit in Canada along with my wife. We both are working for a full time job in software company for almost 6 months and wanted to apply for PR.
As far as I know, I have three options.
1. Apply under Provincial Nominee Program
With High application fees (1500 $) and unpredictable processing time.
2. Apply under Federal Skilled worker
With High processing time ( 25 months)
3. Wait till February 2015 (till then I will be having 1 year of Canadian Experience) and apply under Canadian Experience Class (11 months processing time)
Initially, I wanted to go for 3rd option but due to the introduction of Express Entry in January 2015, I am not sure if I can still EASILY apply under 3rd option or not.
Should I go for Option 1 or 2 or waiting for 3 rd option is right ?
Any Suggestion will be highly appreciated.
Option 3. Make sure you have proper experience letter and job contract.
Express Entry has nothing to do in your case.
Thanks Sir for replying. So do you mean, the new express entry system has nothing to with the Canadian Experience Class program in next year?

I could not tell you any other way, except by saying that you are now boxed in. Explaing it to you a little deeper, Have you ever felt locked inside a room and find that the walls are closing in on you slowly and the space is narrowing there, inside.
I will get a little more specific... : The CIC says that the OLD Federal Experience class of applications for PR will close at the end of this year, which is 2014. Hey that is good. BUT.... there is always a but.. The number of applicants who can get in via this route, has had the CAP reached already. Which means the doors have already closed for the OLD Canadian Experience Class and they will not accept any more candidates.
Now, do tell me... what is left, except the EXPRESS ENTRY. So, complete the years' work and get the experience required and prepare your application through that route and get your PR.
You are already employed and so stay put and enjoy your stay here. Let the process take its own course. (Unless they have a change of heart.)
FH.
