Found something that may clarify your concerns....If I have been working in Canada for more than a year on a closed work permit, can I choose 'Yes' for the below question?
8) Do you have a valid job offer supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment?
[FONT=Noto Sans, sans-serif]Some details-
1. I am working with the same company through which I received LMIA
2. I am on a closed work permit for another 8 months, an year has passed by already
3. My job is a permanent position, 40hrs/week and is not a contract[/FONT]
4. LMIA had just 6 months validity and that has expired already. I believe this validity was only for me to apply for WP
The reason I ask this is because I would get points for my Canadian work experience as well as for the job offer if I can choose Yes for this. But I am a little confused because the LMIA itself has expired...
A valid job offer has to be:
- made by one employer
- continuous
- paid
- full-time (at least 30 hours a week)
- for at least one year after we issue your permanent resident visa
- not seasonal
- in a job that is NOC:
- Skill Type 0 or
- Skill Levels A or B
- by an employer with a new positive LMIA that approves the offer and names you and your position OR
- if you’re currently working in Canada in a NOC 0, A or B job on a work permit that was issued based on an LMIA, and:
- you’re working for an employer listed on your work permit
- you’re authorized to work in Canada on the day you apply for a permanent resident visa, and when the visa is issued
- your current employer made you an offer to give you a full-time job for at least one year if you’re accepted as a permanent resident
- Your employer must get a new LMIA only if:
- your work permit has expired
- Your employer must get a new LMIA only if:
