I have over one year of experience in Canada but left my previous job with closed work permit.

I have a new job offer that has an LMIA issued but I don't have the work permit for that yet. I started working there as IRCC sent me authorization to change jobs without waiting for an approved work permit.

The job is a permanent fulltime job and this is mentioned in the employer reference letter.

In my CEC profile I answered yes to a valid job offer because I have an LMIA for this job and since it is a permanent role I am assuming that should satisfy the requirement of having the job at one year after permanent residence.

I am wondering if this is correct?

Anyone have successfully claim the 50 points for job offer? What was your situation?

Thanks in anticipation.

Since you have an approved LMIA, you should definitely be able to claim the 50 points.
