Hi. I need some advice.
I have been working with the same employer for 2 years (I was on PGWP until Feb'24) but I recently got a LMIA-Exempt work permit (as my PGWP was expiring). My Lmia-exempt work permit is in 'Canadian interests' category.
My question is: Should I complete 1 full year on this new LMIA-exempt work permit to get those 50 points for my PR, OR, since I have already been working with the same employer for the last 2 years, I get the points right away? What does the government mean by 'work for a year with the same employer on your work permit'.
I have a job offer that supports my job after 1 yr of PR issuance.
I have LMIA-Exempt Work Permit with same employer.
I have been working for the same employer since last 2 years - so I have the experience too (it was just on PGWP until now).
