Hi,
I have recently cleared an interview and will be receiving a job offer soon from the company.
I will be moving to UK around Sept-Oct 2014 under Tier 2 General.
Will I be eligible to apply for an ILR after 5 years working and living in UK.Will I be eligible for a PR by 2019?
I have been in UK previously for 1 year under Tier 2 - ICT Short Term Visa.
I also have an opportunity to move to Canada as well with a PR Visa from the very first day, so I am confused here on arriving at a decision here.Though I am much inclined to settle in UK(I hear people say,UK no more allow settlements).
Response and guidance is much appreciated!!

As the current rules stand yes you ll be eligible however 2019 is far away so you never know.

Both countries have their own pro and cons, nevertheless these days Canada is more attractive than UK, there are number of reasons for that; in short if Canada is a growing economy and Britain has been grown. However if I would start again I would prefer Canada. Anyways Good luck

agree, if starting over and having this choice i think many of us would prefer Canada, where your immigration status is likely to be more secure. there is also United States nearby, which matters for long-term prospects.
