Generally speaking, IRCC wants a letter from your employers stating that they are offering you the job for at least one full year after you become a PR. If you don't have a letter from your employer that specifically includes this line, there's a chance IRCC will say you are not entitled to the 50 points.
No, IRCC won't take COVID-19 delays into account. Besides, even without COVID-19 delays and normal processing times, you would still be short on time with your job only running to August 2021 and an ETA of November 2020 to receive PR. The math still wouldn't work.
Hi Scylla,
I am in a kind of similar situation. Could you please answer me some questions? Thank you!
I am a postdoc fellow that has working in a Canadian research institution for 1 year and I am still working for my employer who is listed on my closed work permit. My job offer is:
1). Started from Dec. 2019
2). Valid for 3 years, which means it will be finished in Dec. 2022.
My questions is:
From IRCC's website, I need to approve that my employer will offer me another 1 year job to let me get the 50 points. But my current job offer will be valid until Dec. 2022, so if I entered the pool in this month, do I still need to ask my employer to issue a written job offer which garantee he will hire me for another year after I got the PR?
If yes, should I ask my employer to specifically mention "I will hire XXX as a postdoctoral fellow for another year after he got his PR."? Or there is an offical offer template that will cover this information?
If no, how could the IRCC agents verify this 3-year offer qualifys the "
at least one year after we issue your permanent resident visa " condition? Since no one will know the exact PR visa issue date.
Thank you for your help and attention!
