Are you sure that software engineers are eligible for unnamed LMIA? From last I checked, it was mainly for agricultural/labor jobs. Make sure you aren't getting scammed here.
It’s not a software engineer Lmia, he said a tech occupation.
my main concern is, do you actually have to work an Lmia job that’s used just for the purpose of 50 points? Can’t I just continue to work my current job. He told me to use his companies LMIA as a supporting document and continue working my current job.
also it’s not unnamed or preapproved, he will apply for an Lmia under my name.
If your work permit is closed work permit(using this unnamed LMIA), I don't see a way in which you can work anywhere else.
What type of employer would apply for LMIA for someone else and not even want to work with them? You are paying for this LMIA - if so, it is disgusting!
My work permit is a PGWP and not closed.
I am not paying for anything, it’s my family friend of 20 years who owns an IT consulting firm.
so I take that and yes, I can apply using that Lmia to claim 50 points while continuing to work for my current employer?
The fact that you aren't going to work in the job implies it is a fake job offer and fraud LMIA.
On the IRCC website for LMIA rules it just says we need an LMIA job offer. My current job is high paying and I don’t want to switch.
how’s it a fake job offer? I can work there if I want to, but if it’s not a requirement I rather continue my current job at Deloitte.
You mentioned you don't want to work there, but are only going to use it for 50 points. That's why it is a fake job offer, and no sane employer would happily lose $1k for filing LMIA and doing the paperwork if you aren't going to work there. Tell me how is this not a fraud LMIA?
Also, saw your history where you are getting an LMIA for food service supervisor: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/urgent-lmia-noc-different-than-ee-noc.829556/
>I have an employer ready to give me an LMIA for food service supervisor (NOC/teer 62020).
This is a case of fraud. You are not fooling anyone here.
how is it fraud when this registered immigration RCIC is doing it? He is not charging me money for an Lmia just to file for express entry? I’m suspicious about it so I’m asking. He said I don’t need to work there
You're claiming 50 points for a job offer and you have no intention of working there. That's pretty clearly misrepresentation. Whether IRCC catches this or not is a different matter. But that's a pretty big risk to take. Your call.
He told me I don’t have to work when I asked him. He said it’s a “supporting document”. Guess you can’t even trust registered immigration consultants now. It wasn’t adding up at all. He showed me a file of clients that do this and proved that there’s nothing wrong in it and said you only need to work there if it’s dual intent lmia and you need it for applying for a work permit
Stop making stories. You said it was an IT firm, but the way I see it, you are getting a food surpervisor LMIA job. You also said it was a family friend's firm, now a mythical "RCIC" comes into picture and you are "suspicious". How are you suspicious if it was a "family friend"?
Lastly, email IRCC, state your intention and find out yourself. I am not convinced that a RCIC and a "family friend" would be so generous to pay for your LMIA.
He is indeed someone a family friend referred to me offering LMIAs and I’m here inquiring if it’s legitimate as I don’t want to misrepresent.
He has a RCIC number so those aren’t stories. They have a firm for immigration. What threw me off is them saying I don’t have to work but use it as a supporting document.
Short story: I was referred to this so called RCIC saying you don’t have to work Lima’s.
And to answer your question as to how or why I’m suspicious, ofcirise, it’s my application I’m going to do my due diligence so I don’t break any laws.
I got my answer, thanks.
