Applying for work permit and PR parallely (Software Pro)

[caspirant]

Hi all,
I am a Indian software professional currently working in US for last 3.5 years. I have a total 9 years for experience. Currently I am evaluating the possibility for moving to Canada and work there. But to get a PR I need to have a permanent job offer (AEO). So I have started looking for canadian jobs. But the companies who will be interested to give me a job offer, will also want to take me on board ASAP. So even if I get a job offer, the employer may want to file WORK PERMIT for me so that I can join them with in 2 months.

IF they file work permit, can I also file PR with their job offer at the same time? Or I have to wait and how long - 2 years (experienced class)?

Please let me know your views. Also write whoever already have gone through similar situation.

Thanks.

You may have many options open to you if you work here under a WP.

Provincial Nominee Programs (check the requirements for the province where you would be working)
Federal Skilled Worker (as getting an AEO would increase your points)
Canada Experience Class (after 2 years of work)
