Extempt from LMIA

[roman_kehler]

Hi,

I currently applied for PR under CEC, all my document are sent. I am in Canada now as worker with employer specific work permit through Young Professional program.

When I was filling up my EE application there was the question about my work permit:
Was a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) issued for the current work permit?

I probably should have put there answer which says
No - My work permit is extempt from an LMIA due to an international agreement
but I put there this instead
No- My work permit is extempt from an LMIA for other reasons and is employer-specific

Do you think it's gonna change anything? It is not totally incorrect, but it is kinda confusing.
Any experience with this anybody?

Thank you very much!
Roman

Hi Roman,

Nope, There is no problem. Don't worry about it. The officer will correct it for you if there is anything wrong.

Kindly please share some light on LMIA Exempt. On express entry there is a question

Question : Do you have valid job offer supported my LMIA [If Needed ]

Will I come under LMIA Exempt ? If yes it will bump my points in express entry. [ Below is my story of my job and Canadian experience for 1 year by June 1st 2018 ]

Here is my situation and I am on Open work permit [ Based on my Husband post graduate work permit visa ]

Company 'A' I joined full time on June 1st 2017 - March 1st 2018 in Ontario
Company 'B' I joined Temp Contract with 40 hours a week from Feb 26th 2018 to Present [ Got a Temp Contract letter stating 35 hours/week, start date : Feb 26th 2018 - June 2019 with possible extensions from ON employer.

You cannot have a valid job offer while working on an open work permit. You'd need LMIA to claim points for arranged employment.
