Claiming additional 50 points

[sathishbalaji]

Hey Guys,

Though we dont have job offer,with all the documents we can prove offer of emoloyment.But you should have valid visa for atleast a year after issuing PR.Keep in mind once you submit your passport for PR,they would cancel work permit and issue a one time visa.So that you can travel outside and come back to Canada to get your PR. That one year Visa post PR that I had mentioned is to gain scrutiny officer confidence that you will have continous job after PR.

It is a safe bet to apply for PR once you had applied for extension.Dont really bother about extension copy.You can very well upload your old WP and also all the documents to prove them that you had applied for WP extension when submitting documents for PR.

Don't wait for your wp to get approved.Am pretty sure company would have shared all the documents with you that they used for extension.When submitting docs for PR,give an explanation about wp extension is in progress along with the document.

• Worked one year on a closed work permit, valid till October 2021.
• Have a job offer from same employer from office in Toronto.

Thanks, so you are asking to wait for wp extension to get approved. I already applied wp extension and it’s in progress

I think I am under the same employer as well. What did you do as I am in your situation? What happened on your ITA? Appreciate your response.

Hi. I have the extended VISA 3years from now and gotten an ITA now. So, as you suggest here, with this and other available documents, I have chance for approval without a offer of employment mentioning job even after PR.
Appreciate your response.

@mr.preetsingh I have an LMIA approved job offer. I will be starting work in December 2019. Will i be able to claim additional 50 points with a job offer letter which states i have been offered "job on an indeterminate/permanent full time (40hrs per week) basis in the position as software engineer (Associated NOC 2173, skill type A)"

Can anybody here help me with this query? I am very confused whether to claim 50 points or no. I have read posts which state offer should say "its valid 1 year after PR". Is that mandatory?

Hi. I have the very same situation. May I please know what did you do and submit? What happened to the ITA?

 

[SindhujaG]

Hello Balaji,

I have the same question, did you claim 50 points and got PR?, please confirm so that i can apply the same way. I am in closed work permit with NOC A around 4 plus years of experience.

Hi. Did you have any response or confirmation on this? Pls share. Appreciate it

 

[SindhujaG]

Thanks a lot.

In reference letter they mention start date but separation date is NA along with all other required details. Can I still use it to claim 50 points..? Plase advice.

Thanks!

Hi. Did you have any luck reg. this? Please share what you did as I am in the situation. Appreciate your response.

No. He will get 50 points. There are 2 categories that qualify for arranged employment points:

1) LMIA holders
2) no LMIA but holds a closed work permit(employer name is mentioned on the work permit). Also the person has already worked for that employer in canada for 1 year. And also the employer has given an offer that he will continue to employ that person for at least 1 year after getting PR.

Point 2 applies for me but my application still got rejected.
