Express Entry Application (Job offer)

[Meghna1792]

Hi,
I am currently applying for Express entry and I am pretty confused about a question that I got in the form, not sure what to answer.

Is this job offer for work that is:

• full-time
• continuous and
• for at least one year?

I have a full-time job offer and I am working since Nov 12th, 2018, what does "for at least one year?" mean here?

Are you on a open work permit or closed work permit ?
If you are on a closed work permit this may apply. You need to check if your closed WP is an ICT (LMIA exempted) or a WP with a LMIA

For ICT one you need to complete 1 year and should have supporting reference letter mentioning that the your employer will provide you the job offer 1 yr after you get the PR
For LMIA supported WP you can claim the job offer points

If you are on a open work permit, then this job offer will not apply

Thanks for the quick reply.
I am on an open work permit, so do I have to fill "No" in the question where its asked do I have a job offer in Canada?

Open work permit without a LMIA should be ticked as a No
