Applying PR from Ontario-International Student with job offer

[jijuanair]

Hello Friends,

I work in London,Ontario in a small firm with 2 permanent employees.Like all students i was planning to leave to Saskatoon.But my employer asked me to meet a lawyer and explore the options in Ontario instead of going Saskatoon.

So i met a lawyer and he said i can apply for PR under the arranged employment program.He says it should work.He says there is a almost 100% chance.

I needed a second opinion and i met another lawyer.He says i can apply for PR since i have 85 points and since i have an employment.He says as long as i have a job offer in Ontario,i am good and he says i have a great chance.It sounded too simple to me.So i am not sure whether its right or not as i heard so much about lawyers and how they take your money and promise you the skies.

My employer is ready to give me the permanent job.
I heard that the salary has to be par with the Ontario standards.The lawyer says there is no need for that.

So i am bit confused and request your opinion whether what the second lawyer is saying will work and what are the pros and cons i should be looking at.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

This is 100% true. You do not need a lawyer if you can fill the paperwork correctly. Good luck!
