I know this subject has been discussed before but each case is different. Is it really possible to obtain a PR Skilled Worker Visa even though the applicant has been out of status in USA for almost than 16 years, overstayed a tourist visa twice with 2 legally entries. Being illegal is not easy anymore. Could you please share your thoughts and experiences bases on this case. Passed marks with 71, more than a year experience in a NOC occupation, not criminal record. Will my experiencie count even if I work while being illegal ? I don't mind going back to my country of origin to finish the process, but could I start the process in USA ?, that way it would be easier to get the clearences and references. I just wanna know if it is possible tecnically and in reality. I would like to hear some truth experiences about it. Hopefully I can hear good news. Thank you.
What are the chances of obtaining a PR Visa even if someone is illegal in USA?

My friend had the similar situation, illegal in USA 5 years, he applied in Buffalo, USA, but they rejected his application and he had submit his appllication in country where he is the citizen. And also they wanted to explain his status in USA. And at the end he was supposed to have a interview.
I have seen someone in here with an overstayed visa and been granted Canadian PR from Buffalo. I can't locate the thread now. You have entered the U.S. legally and don't have criminal records. That speaks a lot to Canadian immigration officers. Also overstaying a visa is not a criminal offese in the U.S.
I say give it a shot, you have nothing to lose. Good Luck

Dear nowayjos
Please read out all the instructions about eligibility....
1. you shud have atleast of one year continous legal stay in U.S ,no matter if you are out of status now.
2. secondly u shud meet all requirements about the 67 points...
3. No your illegal work here ,will not count as experience...you should produce the payroll...esp if you showing ur work experience in U.S.
Otherwise if you are confident enough about your eligibility and experience..it can be better if you apply from your country...
Don't go to Lawyers,,they are crooks ,,,they will show u hope and will confiscate you forever.....

@ preetdhillon4u: My work in US was done through a regular payroll process; I can even get a employment verification letter, I have the pay stubs and w2 forms; it is just that my employer did not know that I was illegal. I know I have to do it from my country, but I was just thinking of sending the initial CIO documentation to Nova Scotia from US, before I leave, since It would be easier to to gather the FBI & police clearances here (in the US) as well as other reference from previous jobs. Thank you for your comments.
@ayarrk Thanks for your comments, but I found hard to hide 16 years of my life, I even have roots in US.
Thank you all, but I still believe there is someone out there that had a similar situation that I would really like to know how they did it.
Last but not least , thanks to Met2land for this comment "I say give it a shot, you have nothing to lose. Good Luck", it gave me some hope.
