Hi All,
I recently got a job in a company in Toronto, ON. The company is ready to apply for LMIA which I can use to claim 50 points towards my EE application.
The company has asked me to work from India as a contractor/freelancer till my PR application is approved.
The company has given me the following timeline:
September 2020 - December 2020 - LMIA Application & Approval
January 2021 - October 2021 - Express Entry Application & Approval
October 2021 (expected) - COPR and start working full-time for the company in Toronto, ON.
The company is confident that the LMIA will be approved as mine is a niche occupation (Game Development).
My question is can I work for the company as a freelancer (They will be paying me in INR. I have a company set up in India with GSTNo.) and show self-employed in my EE application from September 2020 - October 2021 and move to Canada as a PR and continue working for them.
If yes, then how do I show my work in the Express Entry application?
