New applicant - Skilled worker

[hemanth1983]

Hi - I am very new to the immigration process in Canada...

I have close to 10 years of experience in software engineering (Developer/designer). I am currently in Canada working with a employer with a closed work permit.

I am planning to apply for FSW early next year (Jan 2015). I entered Canada in June 2014..For some reason if my FSW application is rejected or does not go through..Can i still apply under CEC program once I complete my one year stay in Canada..

Can anyone please help me in understanding the implications if my FSW Application is not successful, can I still apply for my CEC once I am complete my one year..

Appreciate your valuable suggestions..Thank You!!!

First of all, if your job is permanent with a positive LMO you can apply right now under the arranged employment category (probably too late for the NOC category).
Second, you CAN apply for multiple PR streams at the same time. If you do so, you will be asked to retract one of them at a later stage. So you will be completely fine if you want to apply through CEC in case FSW does not become successful.
