Hey guys...right now i am in H1b since oct and i am trying to apply for Canadian PR ..When i checked my points i got 69 points which makes me eligible to apply for PR. What do you guys think..should i appy..i completed my bachelor's here in US.  Please advise me...the firm that is helping me is asking $1500

Blyton,

You should apply. You will be just fine with 69. Don't pay anything to those firms out there. Application process is pretty straightforwad. All you got to do is, download application and enclose supporting documents. I did it by myself and it was very easy. Good luck!

Comeon now u know the process right? so, just try on ur own...why would u waste 1500 when u can do on ur own.

i really don't know the process..what form should i use..any links where i can apply online??

You don't apply on-line. Go to canadian immigration web site  (where you calculated the point i.e 69 mentioned above) and skilled workers and print out the form. It will ask you tons of questions about you and your family members and will also require the passport size photo for those (family members) who will be migrating  to canada with you. Its a straight forward process and do  it on your own . No need to waste your hard earned money to lawyers (no offense to Santosh the great sajah lawyer hehehehe).

Good Luck

Try that one.. it has everything you need and it will save you 1500$ too...

IF you are applying as a skilled worker.. your occupation must be one of the 38 high-deman occpations as explained here:

AFTER ALL, you say you have h1b, then why don't you try this?
Why don't you check this site:

Guys, How long does it takes for the process, from application to getting a PR.
Thanks in advance

Guys,

What  documents have to be submitted with an application? got little confused.

 

Blyton,
If you are on H1b than you can apply though the new Alberta pilot program.  No points required and this process is lot faster than Point system. 

To qualify for this pilot program, you must meet the following basic criteria:

1. You must be currently working in the United States in one of the following temporary skilled worker visa categories: H-1B, H1-B1, H-1C, E-3
    
2. You must have a minimum of one year of work experience in the United States in one of the qualifying visa categories listed above.
    
3. Your current occupation must be on the AINP Occupations Under Pressure List for the Strategic Recruitment Stream - U.S. Visa Holder Category.

Check this web and see if you qualify.

Be clear about 38-high demand occupations list and then AINP has its own high-demand occupation list.

If you are applying as a skilled-worker in Federal category 1, NOC 2171 is not allowed. But that NOC code 2171 is eligible for AINP program though.. provided you meet other criteria of AINP such as H1B etc......

its very useful for me . thanks dude

No problem !!!
