Hello Suresh,
Yes, you would need a work permit if u have a job offer before u get your PR. I have experienced the same situation where the company has sponsored me the work permit, The company has to apply for LMO too which can be found on the CIC website (the whole process would take around 2-3 months for sure) if u r in IT filed than the client wouldn't wait for that time. As it happened in my case.
I applied for Alberta through PNP from US and it took them a year to start the processing and another year to approve the same. Right now Alberta has approved but its with the federal authorities in the final stages.
Now if I get a job offer in Alberta, do I still need a work permit ? if so how much time it takes ?
Can anyone help me on this.
Thanks
