Close work Permit | Requesting 50 Points from Current employer
- Thread starter labheshcanada007

I want to make sure I'm correct.
For example, one already has one-year working experience in Canada, and he is working with the employer under closed-work permit based on positive LMIA, which LMIA still valid after e-apr.
When he submitting the e-apr,
1. In "offer of employment" - he should upload the offer letter of his current job, which states full-time permanent or more than 2 years, and the positive LMIA doc.
It should meet the requirement,
- your current employer made you an offer to give you a full-time job for at least one year if you’re accepted as a permanent resident
2. In "letter of employment" - he should upload a letter to prove that he is currently employed, and his current closed-work permit.
Then it should meet the requirements,
- you’re working for an employer listed on your work permit
- you’re authorized to work in Canada on the day you apply for a permanent resident visa, and when the visa is issued
If you want the 50 points for a job offer, you need a letter that specifically states you will be employed full-time for at least one year after becoming a PR. Your original offer letter does not meet that requirement.
but from the IRCC website, It states that
- by an employer with a new positive LMIA that approves the offer and names you and your position OR
If one doesn’t hold a valid LMIA, then he needs to get the exact letter that u have mentioned.
Apps have been refused when they didn't have a letter specifically stating a job offer for one year after PR. It is a clear requirement, regardless of the LMIA. Your choice if you want to take the risk.
I just want to share some extra information.
In an LMIA confirmation letter, it states that
"This positive LMIA is issued with reference to your stated commitment to support both a work permit application and a permanent residence application (this means the employer will hire the foreign national as a temporary foreign worker before or while the permanent residence application is being processed)".
It also states that "LMIA Stream: Permanent Resident", and "Duration of Employment: 2 Year(s)".
To obtain the LMIA, your employer has to submit a job offer letter to the ESDC, which including the position, started date, working hours, wage and job duties. Which means the job offer letter has been accepted by ESDC, otherwise, the LMIA should not be issued.
Moreover, most of the job offers are full-time permanent or two years or more.
Therefore, unless your LMIA is expired, the job offer letter for the LMIA is the same one for your PR application.
If you are currently working with the same employer with a closed-work permit based on LMIA but the LMIA is expired.
You either obtain a new LMIA or get a job offer letter that states you will be employed full-time at least one more year after becoming a PR.
Again, what is stated in the LMIA is not a substitute for an actual statement provided to IRCC from the employer confirming the one year job offer after PR.
Hi, I just saw this post and want to apply in the same way. Is that OK my current employer states they will continue to hire me at least one year after I got PR in Employment Letter? Can I use this 2 in 1 Employment Letter for both Job Letter and proof of work experience? They just consist do not provide a new job offer letter since I am already employed. Thanks!
Can I claim 50 points if I worked with same employer under PGWP currently working with same employer under closed work permit less than 1 Year
I'm assuming you're referring to an LMIA exempt scenario?
The answer to this question isn't clear. The wording on the IRCC site refers to working for at least a year under the current work permit. The current work permit is the closed work permit (not the PGWP). I don't believe we've seen a clear answer to this question. Looking at the language on the IRCC site, the time on the PGWP would not be counted.
Hi,
This 50 points job offer requirement is making me confused; hence I would like to redundantly ask it once again:
1) For the last 2.5 years, I have worked for the same employer on an LMIA-based closed work permit.
2) Initially, it was issued for two years, and now it is extended for two more years.
I want to ask a two parted question:
1) In my current situation, can I claim the 50 points?
2) If Yes, which documents do I need to submit to support my application for AoR?
Looking forward to the response from this awesome community.
Thanks
