Hi all,

I have been given the ITA a few days back and am in the process of collecting the necessary documentation. I've been working full-time for over a year, but I got 3 different fields for "employment" in my document checklist and that's confusing me. I got:

-"Employment Records": this is fairly straightforward. I'll upload a letter from the company and upload however many paystubs I can.

-"Employment offer": I'm not quite sure about this. I DO have a job but it's not a "new arranged" offer per se. Should I just upload the offer from my current job and attach an explanation letter?

-"Employment letter": Again, should I upload the offer of my current job?


Thank you in advance. Please let me know if my questions need further clarification.

Man that valid job offer question is so confusing. They have to give more pointers to what it is referring to. Most people take it literally and dont understand what "valid" means in this case.

Are you claiming 50/200 points for having a valid job offer?
I did not claim any points for "arranged employment". I only claimed points for "work experience" for having worked legally in Canada.

Thanks!

You have to change your answer to "no" for having a job offer.

The placeholders for letter of employment and job offer will disappear.

Oh I see, thank you for this!

Out of curiosity, how come I didn't get any points for "Arranged employment" if that's what "Valid job offer" was referring to?

Because you don't have a job offer supported with an LMIA!

This job offer thing is so confusing!!

I am not sure if I have been assigned additional points for my work.

In the EE profile, I answered yes to the job offer thing but no to the LMIA thing.

I have a Canadian masters degree, IELTS 8 and 1+ year NOC A Canadian working experience and my CRS score is 487.

Not until I read this post, I realize I should answer no to the job offer thing!

I have the three docs ready and am prepared to submit until I read this post. Now I changed the answer to no, only employment records are required.

And I answered no the ECA of my bacholers degree, I guess I don't need to do ECA for my bachelers, am I correct?

I agree that the "valid" job offer thing is super confusing as it means "with LMIA". It took me a while to understand that having a job offer isn't equivalent to having a valid job offer.

If you changed in your profile valid job offer to "no" and still have enough points I guess you should be fine with submitting all documents. To be clear call the CIC and explain the situation.

That's correct. You only need to list/prove your highest level of education.
