Can I Claim 50 Points in Express Entry if My LMIA Has Expired (2025)?

[iVictor]

Hello everyone,

I’m currently in Canada on a closed work permit based on an LMIA, but the LMIA recently expired. Based on my understanding, I don’t need to update my Express Entry profile, and I should still be able to claim 50 points for the job offer.

I’ve reviewed the official guidelines here: Express Entry – Job offer. It states that a new LMIA isn’t required if:

1. I’ve already been working full-time (or an equal amount of part-time) for the employer on a work permit based on an LMIA, and
2. I have a valid job offer.

Has anyone successfully claimed 50 points in this situation where the LMIA expired?

Thanks in advance for your insights!

As long as work permit has not expired and you have an updated job offer stating you will be employed one year past PR…then should be okay.

No exemptions have been announced. Right now all points are gone.
