CRS / Temporary Layoff

[sbayes]

Hi All,

So...I am not in the pool for Express Entry yet, as I am waiting for my WES accreditation to come through. With it, and a job offer, I would have 486 points. However, I have just found out that I am being temporarily laid off...but, technically I am still employed by the company. Are they able to still issue me with a job offer document, or does the temporary layoff negate it? 50 points is obviously a huge thing, and would prohibit me from getting an ITA.

Thoughts?

Are you working in Canada and do you have an LMIA?

yes, working in Canada, but just got temporarily laid off. Work Permit is fixed, but LMIA exempt

The employer needs to offer to extend your job for at least one year after you become a PR.

Hey, did you figured your situation out ? I am in the same situation!

Hi. Technically, yes. They wouldn't give me a Job Offer while on Temporary Layoff. Job Offer has to be for guaranteed 1 year of work, and they couldn't do it. So I lost the 50 points. Luckily for me the February CEC points were low enough and I got an ITA then. Good luck!
