LMIA-next steps?

[mcnitec]

hey there,
My employer got lmia approval and one of the requirements is to hire someone who is already in Canada. I Am. so my employer wants to give me the LMIA, but what are the next steps? How are the chances. I try to search around but I red once you a lmia you can apply for express entry? Unfortunately I probably won't be able because I'm young and only have my high school diploma. So what are thdo next steps? I'm currently in Canada with existing work permit until January for another employer

An LMIA is generally issued when no one in Canada can be found. Are you sure that's a condition of the LMIA?

What NOC is the job for? If you only have a high school diploma - you probably don't have enough points to be selected through Express Entry.

A Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a letter that conclude hiring a foreign labor/worker would not have any negative impact on the local labor market. As a result, any Canadian business who is granted this LMIA could hire foreign labor/worker accordingly. There is no such a thing that your employer must hire someone in Canada. It may just be his own preference.
There are two type: LMIA which support your permanent resident application later on and there is Open LMIA. The first one will have specific name of the worker on it and the second one doesn't
Next step would be, if your employer decide to hire you, to provide you with a Letter of Job Offer. This letter must state your specific job description, salary and other labor-oriented policy and all of those must be in compliance with the LMIA they are granted.
Then with this Offer letter and the copy of LMIA, you will start applying for your Work Permit. Special notice that, you must prove that you are qualified for the job in the Offer and in compliance with LMIA. Some people would fail at this step as they could not prove their past experience and certificate, diploma would be enough (qualified) to perform the job from the LMIA
Having worked in Canada for minimum 9 months, you can start looking again at the CIC website to see what immigration program would fit you. There are many option: PNP, Entry-level and Semi-skill, etc... depends on the Province and on your job. Having worked in Canada for more than 1 year would definitely add lots of points in your PR application program

I've been working in Canada for almost a year but still haven't enough points because I only have my high school diploma
