Issues in Getting Permanent Residency in Canada

[Dan113]

Case:
I'm an Indian citizen and came to US in 2002 as an F1 student for Bachelors and currently out of status. I have been out of status since 2006.
I was wondering if I could apply to Canadian residency from within US and how easy it would be. I'm planning to consult a lawyer but I would like to know what's troubles I will encounter once I start the process.

Thank you

You need to post questions about Canadian law on a Canadian forum, or pose them to a Canadian lawyer.

But when you do so, you might want to be prepared to answer the following question;

What incentive does Canada have to allow you into the country, when you have already shown that you have no objections to remaining illegally?
