I live in Pakistan and applying through express entry I work in a Canadian Company from the past 5 years already. So I am confused about what to ask from my company a normal job offer letter from Canada or it should be through LMIA? in short am I exempted from LMIA or not?

LMIA is only applicable for work permits and not PR visa and hence it is not required.

When you receive an invitation to apply, submit the documents that will be required as per the personalized checklist

Thank you, just to make sure you are telling when I am checking my CRS Score in the checklist it asks about job offer letter so I have to say yes and I will be getting 200 scores for that.

A job offer letter won't be of any help. If you want additional points, your company needs to obtain an approved LMIA.

If your CRS is below 450 and if your complete is not ready to apply for your LMIA you can tell them. Basic requirement for company is they have to have million dollar turnover
