I think I'm not clear if it's exempt or not...
An exemption is for an Inter-company transfer to a Canadian office, post-doc research at a university, job through Free Trade Agreement such as US etc. If you just got a job offer and not from a FTA, then you are not LMIA exempt. Ask employer to apply for LMIA (they pay $1k) as the employer would have posted the job for months and had found no Canadian or PR to do the job, only you were qualified. This will allow you to file for closed work permit, if you don’t get nomination. It will strengthen EE profile as you can add 50 points.

Thank you @Naturgrl for helping out. I will ask him to apply for the LMIA. But is Alberta processing the LMIA applications, with so many changes in immigration I wonder if with the coming NOC 1221, will LMIA be granted.

LMIA is federal not provincial. Alberta is processsing LMIAs for certain NOCs. So if it processing your NOC then there is a good chance it selects your NOC in draws.

Employer needs to pay $1k and complete a market/statistical assessment with the paperwork that the job was posted for at least a few months and couldn’t hire anyone in Canada with the NOC. Pay must be the average or a above for your regiona. Can’t tell you if LMIA will be granted. Thought the job is as medical administrator which is not NOC 1221. You need to prove through your employment letters that you are experienced for the job in medical offices.

Are these applications the one who have received NOI and waiting for 600 points

OR

Are these applicants who have submitted Express Entry profiles expressing interest in Alberta PNP

Thanks

After getting noi in tech pathway. What are the next steps? Will you receive any notification also in the MADI account?
 
hi naturgrl

in one of your replies you mentioned
"Alberta is processsing LMIAs for certain NOCs."

What does Alberta processing LMIAs mean?
What are those NOCs that Alberta process?
is there a list?
