Any thoughts?

Hi fkl, as per the changes implemented on 19th November, LMIA exempt contract workers will be eligible to claim 50 if they have a closed work permit and if their offer is valid for one year after the permanent residence is issued. My question is will I be rejected because of the way my contract...

I don't think you will be able to claim the 50 points. For a LMIA work permit holder to claim 50 points, the worker should have worked for the employer named on the work permit for at least one year, and have an offer that's valid for at least a year after you are granted the permanent residence.

Thanks Asivad Anac for patiently answering all our questions!

Hi members, I am on a closed LMIA exempt work permit with my employer's name on my work permit. I will complete one year Canadian work exp in Jan 2016, and will enter the EE pool (with a CRS around 530). I have an offer letter from my employer that says my offer is valid until December 2021...

Hi guys, I had another question. My current work permit is valid until November 2017, and my employer is giving me an updated offer until December 2021. So do I need to apply for a work permit extension before entering the EE pool? Because mine is a LMIA exempt closed work permit, my employer...

Anshul, Afer the Fall changes the job offers need not be permanent. My only concern is that because the offer letter states that the contract is subject to funding, will the immigration officers reject my application saying this is not a valid job offer?

Thanks kryt0n. Yes my employer will be giving me the ref letter once I get the ITA. And it's the average pay for this occupation. All that is in the standard format mentioned in my offer letter.

Yes. It's a closed work permit with the employer name (McMaster University). And it's LMIA exempt based on Canadian interest.

Hi guys, I am currently working as a postdoctoral fellow and I will be completing 1 year work exp in Canada in January 2017. So I will be eligible to enter the EE pool soon after that. My original contract was until December 2017. After the changes in the CRS system, I spoke to my boss and she...
