Can I apply canadian PR when I'm on h2b visa in US?

Question

hello guys

i wonder if i'm able to send my canadian PR application from US, because the processing time is much better than in my country. I'm planning to go to the US this summer as a seasonal worker.
If there is someone who had been in the same situation as mine pls let me know, so I can prepare all of the documents needed from now.

thank you.

This is something that you best ask at an embassy.

Here is why:
Usually, you send the application to the embassy in the country you are a current citizen of. Sending it to a different one ... say ... sending it to the U.S., when that is not your citizenship country, may actually delay the process. Being it is governmental agencies you are dealing with, it may end up having to be rerouted.

Also, since you are only going to be in the states a few months, and the process takes 1-3+ years, your contact information will be your home country, not the U.S.

I would recommend sending in the application now, from y our home country; or contacting your local canadian embassy for solid and accurate information.
