Can I apply for us work visa while waiting for Canadian PR?

Hi
Anybody has experience about applying for US work visa while waiting for Canadian PR inside Canada?

Yes, you can apply for a US Work visa. However, if you are being sponsored under the Family Class for your PR, you will not get that if you leave Canada.

If you've applied under CEC or FSW, then you can go ahead with no real issues that I know of.

OK, thanks. I applied under Quebec skilled worker.

Ok. I'm not very familiar with Quebec's rules so just wait for a few more people to add to this thread.

I am in Federal stage now. Would be thankful if somebody else can give advice.

I called IC and got the answer. Except applicants sponsored under the Family Class, a person can leave Canada and work in any country while PR is being processed.

Thanks for updating the thread. Good to know that Quebec has the same rules.
