I am in Alberta on Work Permit for a 1,5 year now but I am not satisfied with my employer
but I would like to get the Permanent Residency before I look for another employer or move
somewhere else in Canada.
1.Can I apply for Permanent Residency after I complete 2 years on Work Permit?
(And of course let my employer get the extension now so I will have a valid Permit at the time of my application for PR)
2.If I can apply on my 2 years , how long does it takes to actually get the PR ?
3.If I find another employer (new LMO etc) does my total time working in Alberta counts for my application for PR and is it still 2 years?
4.If I find another employer but in different province(ex.Toronto, new LMO etc) is my time living and working in Alberta still countable when I will apply
maybe there for PR when the time comes?

Every help very much appreciated , I really have to know all my options . Thank you
 
You'll have to provide more information. What job are you working in Alberta? What's your NOC?

They brought me with lower skill NOC
my NOC is 9414
allthough I have experience for more than 25 years as a skilled tradesman in my country.
Unfortunately my trade does not exist exactly here in Canada as it is at my country
and the closest thing here as a trade is maybe tile setter or mason .
Trades that in my country is just parts of my trade.
