Applying for permanent resident while working in Canada

[nasirshah]

My brother is Pakistani citizen and working in USA as accountant with MBA degree from USA. If he transfer his job to Canada, can he apply for permanent residence while working in Canada?.
How long will it take to get Canadian permanent resident status?

He'll have to read through Canada's immigration programs to see what it takes to qualify to apply and if he meets the criteria. From the information you have provided, it's impossible for any of us to say if he would qualify.
