50 points for job offer or LMIA?

[aaww]

Hello guys, according to this http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/mi/express-entry.asp:

Change the Comprehensive Ranking System points for a job offer:

• 50 points for a valid job offer in a National Occupational Classification 0, A or B occupation
• 200 points for a valid job offer in a National Occupational Classification major group 00 occupation

Does that mean a valid NOC 0/A/B job offer automatically guarantees you 50 points? Or this has to be an LMIA?

valid NOC 0/A/B job offer automatically guarantees you 50 points
a minimum of one year experience in same NOC

It is only for certain work permit types.

If you are on a TWP, you still need an LMIA and a written offer of full-time employment for at least one year from the date you become a PR.

If you are on an ICT or NAFTA work permit, you do not need an LMIA, just the written offer.

It does not apply to PGWP, spouse/dependent open work permits, or IEC permits.

One of the following criteria has to satisfied:

1) Need LMIA

Or

2) Need 1 year experience in Canada in NOC O, A or B job and your work permit States the name of your employer and your visa was granted under intra-company transfer/NAFTA/mobilité francophone etc.

Open work permit holders (PGWP and spouse work permit s) do not qualify for additional 50 points.

That's bad news I'm holding a PGWP. So 30 pts for international student is the only new thing to me I guess..

Hi,

I have a question incase you have an idea on the same.
I am on Closed work permit + LMIA approved on date April 3rd 2019(last year).

As the LMIA was for 2 year the validity is till April 2021( Now less than 1 year) , can i still claim this as Valid Job offer.
My offer letter does not mention any END contract date, though it states I am on permanent employee contract.

I can claim the 1 year experience points => Yes i believe
Valid job offer 50 points = > Any comments

Regards & good luck to all

See @jes_ON response above. Your job offer letter needs a statement for the duration of employment as mentioned there.

Yes, you need an LMIA.

Have you even read the requirement for a job offer? The employer needs to offer you a job for at least a year after becoming a PR to get the points. If you quit after getting an ITA, it's safe to say the offer is off the table and you will lose the points.
