VALID JOB OFFER QUESTION CONFUSION

[veeraB]

Hello Guys,

Can someone please help me here. I'm on PGWP and I was wondering what should I answer for the express entry question below:

"Do you have a valid job offer in Canada?"

Should I say "No" because I don't have an LMIA approved job offer. I want to apply under CEC as a regular worker who got a job after graduating from Canadian institution and currently applying for PR. Or Should I say "yes" because if I do I get asked to upload "offer of emplyment and "Letter of employment" in the later sections of the form as I've already received an ITA...

Answer is "no"

If you're on a PGWP you do not have a valid job offer.

That link confirms that you don't have a job offer. If you want job offer points, your employer needs to obtain an approved LMIA.

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
  • not on a contract basis
• in a job that is NOC:
  • Skill Type 0 or
  • Skill Levels A or B

It also must be made :

• 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 OR
• if you have a valid work permit for a NOC 0, A or B job that is exempt from needing an LMIA, and you:
  • are currently working for an employer specified on the work permit
  • have one year of full-time work experience (or an equal amount of part-time work) for that employer
  • have a valid job offer from that employer for at least one year after we issue your permanent resident visa

as i understand they will consider your job offer if you have worked for an employer for one year full time and the same employer is providing you the offer.

Please Advise

Thanks

Do you hold a PGWP?

If so, the you don't meet one of the requirements - which is that your employer must be named in the work permit.

So you don't qualify for the 50 points (if you hold a PGWP).

It doesnt matter whether you are in PGWP or other open work permit. To claim 50 CRS point your employer has to agree to give you atleast 1 year job offer after you get PR and that job offer must me supported by positive LMIA.

Hello Everyone.

I have a little similar question. Please help me.
I did my study in Canada, and now I am PGWP and work in an institution that has a charitable registration number on the Government of Canada. I have started my job here as a Data Analyst (NOC A) for just 2 months and am going to apply for express entry (CEC) after getting 12 months of Canadian Work experience here.
My question is that since this institution has a charitable registration number, can I use my job offer (which I received before and will ask the HR to issue it again) to get the points? Is my job considered as charitable work and it'll be exempted from LMIA?

Thanks all,

As a data analyst I don't think that would qualify but you should check this page and see what you think - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/foreign-workers/exemption-codes/canadian-interests-charitable-religious-work-r205-exemption-code-c50.html

Hi everyone!

Would some please help me understand if I have a job offer or not?

2019, April 30 - Finished my studies, got a Master's degree (2 years). Applied for PGWP that day.
2019, May 1 - Started my full-time job by receiving a job offer in my field
2020, May 1 - Planning on applying for Express Entry (I suppose I am qualified for CEC) having worked for 12 months.

In the EE application they require me to answer if I have a job offer. Well I have a paper from the legit institution with an offer. But do I really have a job offer? Can I say "Yes"?

My friend has answered yes to the valid job offer before submitting file in pool and now she got invitation, and again it’s asking if you job offer. Should she write yes or no? And it will effect her file or no? As mistakenly she kept yes for that.. and she is in Canada worked for one year in NOC B on PGWP
