some questions about application for Canada PR

[nguyen]

Hi, i have some questions about application for Canada PR.

* I am from vietnam but now i am working in canada right now. I have studied in canada since June 2004. I graduated two-year diploma in Business Administration majoring in Accounting in canada since December 31, 2004. I did change my study permit to work permit. I got my work permit and work since April 24, 2004. recently i am still working in canada. My question is if i apply for skill classs category where is the best location i will apply for? is it possible I can apply within Canada if yes where? If not where is the best place for me to send to ?

* the second question is do I count my points correctly ????
- Factor 1: Education: I have two-year diploma (full-time) in Business Administration majoring in accounting at SAIT( Southern Alberta Institute of Technology). so I count for myself 20 points
- Factor 2: Language ability: i have took the exam provided by organization. Still waiting the result.
- Factor 3: Work Experience. I will have one year experince (in my study field) after April 24, 2006. so I count for me 15 points (after 24, 2006)
- Factor 4: Age . i am 25 now so i count 10 points
- Factor 5: Arranged employment. well i applied work permit by myself but of course have my employer contract . not sure i get any points. but now i count for 0 points.
- Factor 6: Adaptability. I studied at a post-secondary institution in Canada for two years on a full-time basis with a valid study permit. And also I completed a minimum of one year of full-time work in Canada on a valid work permit (after April 24, 2006). so i think this one i got 10 points
SO TOTAL : 55 POINTS WILL ADD LANGUAGE SCORE LATER IF I GET RESULT. (DO I COUNT CORRECTLY???)

*the third question is if i assume i have 12 pionts of language scroe. so I add it up is 67 mark. so is it enought to apply for immigration or it is good idea to have over 67?

* the fourth question is I do not understand about " Arranged employment". could anyone explaint more detail. I got my work permit by myself with a letter from my employer.

I am really appreciated that answer my questions.

You can apply from Buffalo (Canadian Consulate) after you are certain that you meet the minimum basic requirements.
Otherwise you must apply from your home country.

Usually Buffalo is better for in-Canada applicsnts.

I would advise you to send your application in beginning of april (when ur like only 2-3 weeks away from completing 1 yr experience).

For arranged employment points, all you really need is to ask your employer to give you a "permanent employment offer" letter in which they state that they would give you a permanent position if you are issued an immigrant visa.

Check the link of CIC below for detail:

They have an online assessment tool which can help you determine how many points you may get under each category and your total passing mark.
