Yes, as long as you have an approved LMO from the employer, and are able to get a license to practice in Ontario, then there is no reason why you can't get a Work permit.

Labour Market Opinion, which the employer obtains from HRSDC see: http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/en/epb/lmd/fw/tohrdcassess.shtml

Hi PMM:
I Talked to my employer and they will provide me with the positive LMO in one month from now.
I am supposed to start working thier in July/07. Do you think I can get my PR before that.I applied on Nov/06.

Unlikely as Buffalo is taking 18-31 months to process applications (already processed) and the time is going up.

Hi PMM:

Look What I found in lawyer David Cohen website:

"If you find work in Canada you can generally expect to receive your Canada Immigration Visa in less than one year; and at some Canadian Immigration Visa Offices, in less than six months. Canadian Immigration Visa Officers give priority to your application if you have Arranged Employment because they know there is a Canadian employer waiting for you to start your job in Canada"

As I said prevoiusly I got a job offer and I will get the LMO shortly. will this speeden my PR application time.I applied on NOv/06. I am supposed to start on 7/07.

Regards
MMH

Only an AEO (Arranged Employment Option) that your employer obtains from HRSDC will speed up the application in London, and sometimes Sydney. It doesn't do much good in Buffalo.

YOu would have to apply as a skilled worker. If you were removed from Canada you will also have to deal with that as well in your application.
