I have a job offer from my current employer. I don’t need an LMIA to claim the 50 points for it because IEC is an international agreement.

Under: “Canadian interests” reasons reciprocal employment my job offer is Jobs exempt from the LMIA

The thing is I have created Express entry profile by adding the Job offer but I have not been given the point

Currently I'm in Canada with the under young professionals IEC work Visa, any Idea why 50 points is not issued to my profile ?

LMIA-exempt job offers – skilled immigrants (Express Entry) here is link.

Kindly let me know if any one has an idea about this.

Have you worked for a year in Canada on the permit.

Because IEC is not a LMIA exempt permit under any of those categories. Your employer never applied for a LMIA exempt permit.
No this is confusing :( LMIA-exempt job offers – skilled immigrants (Express Entry) website states under Jobs exempt from the LMIA - 3. exempt for “Canadian interests” reasons under B. reciprocal employment IEC - ii - shows young professionals

I'm currently in Canada using the IEC young professionals Closed work permit.

You qualify for the 50 points once you have worked for your employer in Canada for a full year on the work permit.

@Naturgrl Hi , I have applied for PR in express entry, my biometric is completed , next is eligibility, criminality , security, background check etc.

I am living in Montreal, Quebec on closed work permit and I have shown my intent to move out of Quebec after getting PR as I have shown the permission from my employer that I will be moved to Toronto office of my employer soon.

My question is that in which step ( eligibility, security,criminality or background check) they will verify my intent and will be satisfied with my intent.

Please suggest.

Thanks in advance.

I am on closed work permit LMIA exempt (international agreement). I have worked for more than 1 year with this employer. But now the employer says that I need to move back as the project is about get over. My work permit is valid till July and I have already received ITA. Can I still claim those 50 points? Even if I am not working with this same employer now.

In order to claim the 50 points, your employer needs to provide a letter stating they will continue to employ you in the role for a year after PR. If you're moving back to your home country or no longer working for that employer, thats not going to work. Don't claim the 50 points.

You need to have job offer for next 1 year to claim the points.
