Can you have a job offer AND get a job seeker code?

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to have a job offer AND get a job seeker code?

Most likely if your job offer isn't supported by an LMIA.

But if it is? Is there any way around it i.e to get a job seeker code?

If you're saying you've not received a job seeker code it's just the last 4 digits of your passport number.
 
FROM CIC -


Job seeker validation code

What is it?

The number that identifies your Express Entry profile in Job Bank.

Where do I get it?

After you submit your Express Entry profile, you will get a letter in your MyCIC account with your Job Seeker Validation code.

What do I use it for?

to register with Job Bank
to give to a province or territory who wants to nominate you.

Many people, myself included, didn't receive a message with our validation code, someone realized it was just the last 4 digits of the passport number. We've all been able to complete registration on there and received confirmation that our profiles are in the pool.

And you created an entry in Job Bank with this OK? Is that what you mean?

Thanks for all your help doublem!

Yes, you register on Job Bank using your EE profile number and the last 4 digits of your passport.

Then you'll see in MyCIC that your profile moves into the 'open' state and you receive a message confirming your profile is in the pool.
 
I submitted successfully and also registered on job bank. The pdf file I received has the express entry profile number on it but without the job validation code. What could be the problem? Will they send another pdf message with the job validation code?
