Hi there,
It sounds like you're good to apply for Express Entry. Unfortunately I do not know enough about the equivalency program to know whether or not your certifications will be accepted or how they will be graded.

I don't know about job vacancies, I'm sorry to say. Try picking the province where you would like to live and then contacting the local association.

I couldn't recommend anyone in India. If you were to work with someone, ask for someone who is connected to a consultant or lawyer in Canada (and ask them to verify that person's information). Otherwise, who knows what you're getting when you give them money.

Hi again,
I'm biased, because I work for consultants, but let me put it to you this way:
Would you use an accountant to do your taxes?
Essentially, that's what you're doing with a consultant or a lawyer: you're hiring someone to make sure everything is correct. If you are confident in your own abilities to fully comprehend everything that is asked of you, to answer those questions appropriately and to provide all the documentation, then there's no way I can convince you to hire a consultant.
However, if you are in anyway unsure about your chances for success, or about what forms to complete/not to complete, or how to complete those forms, or what to include and not include, then I would strongly suggest a consultant or lawyer. (As I said, I'm biased but I think consultants are better: they specialize in immigration whereas, for most lawyers, it's just one of the many things they do; they are usually cheaper than lawyers; and they care more because it's the very reason for their existence.)

Hope this helps. And good luck!

OK, you need to check out the youtube video "pre-departure services -employment and settlement assistance"

These agencies provide services for free, and these 14 are approved by Immigration Canada, they are also on their website. They will help you find employment in your field while you are still in your country and in your PR process. they will chat with you one-on-one and based on your credentials and your goals make a plan with you. They will also help with your settlement. When you get here, they continue to provide services for you.
