Hey Guys!
Hope everyone's doing well.
I need some help regarding points for job offer for CEC stream. So I am on an open PGWP and have a Job offer from my employer under NOC B. And i have been working with the employer for a year now. Do I still need LMIA to get 50 points??

How can I know if I am LMIA exempt or not?\

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks
Short answer: unfortunately you will not get the 50 points bonus, unless your employer gets a LMIA for you. PGWP is not LMIA-exempt.

I was given the ITA for CEC. On EE it said I qualified for CEC and FSW. Now, after filling out the PR app it says I do not meet the requirements for CEC but I do for FSW (however, I was not invited under FSW).
That is very unfortunate news... can you post the "preview your score" screenshot to here? Obviously we won't know where it went wrong without your full forms, but that form contains too much personal and private info. The "preview your score" page does not contain any sensitive info (as far as I could recall), so feel free to post and let's see whether we could guess where it went wrong.

At the meantime, could you check the following info?
  1. Personal Details - Country of residence: did you put Canada?
  2. Contact Details - Mailing address: did you put Canadian address?
  3. IELTS/CELPIP - verify all scoring and test date (they expire 2 yrs after test date)
  4. Work history: you must have employment history that is:
    1. NOC code within 0,A,B groups
    2. more than 1 yr
    3. Country = Canada
    4. Working legally
    5. Not while studying full time
    6. Personal history should match education and work history
If all the above checks to be correct, then post the screenshot and hopefully we could help further.
