Applying PR from outside Canada

[toramanan]

Hello,

Do we need to work in Canada for applying PR ? Is it possible to apply PR from outside Canada ? Please let me know the procedures involved.

I am a Software Engineer with Masters degree in Computer Science. I am having close to 9 years of Software Industry experience.

-Regards,
Ram.

No, you do not need to work in Canada to apply for PR.

Yes, it is possible to apply for PR from outside Canada.

You should start reading from the CIC website:

Hi..... I am a Temporary Worker here in Alberta and my wife is a PR in Vancouver.. She wants to sponsor me to be a Permanent Resident.. She is pregnant and we want to live together as soon as possible but I cannot move to Vancouver until I have a PR.. SO we are applying for her to sponsor me. But I see now that it takes a long time processing here inside. Is it possible to send my application outside Canada even though I am already working here as a Temporary worker? Please Help..Thanks a Lot...
