Hi,

I am looking for some confirmation on the below question for claiming the job offer points.

I had overall 11 years of experience in the NOC code 2174 working in India, US and Canada. I worked in Canada from Sep 2015 to Nov 2016 and then moved back to US with the same employer. My work permit expired in April 2017 and got a new work permit in October 2017 with the same employer again. My work permit was LMIA exempt as its a Intra company Transfer. I moved back to Canada again in July 2018 and has a job offer letter for at least one year from the employer. I am submitting my express entry profile (got all other conditions met) and not sure if i can say yes for the below question. As i had 1 year of experience with the same employer between 2015 and 2016 and the current work permit being with the same employer, can i say YES to the below question ?

Has XYZ been working full-time for the employer on their current work permit for at least one year? (Or for an equal amount of part time work?)

In CIC page for FSW and CEC i see the below conditions. It says (highligted text) only with the employer and not the current work permi, but in express entry profile it is mentioned specifically as current work permit.

if you have a valid work permit for a NOC 0, A or B job that is exempt from needing an LMIA, and you:
  • are currently working for an employer specified on the work permit
  • have one year of full-time work experience (or an equal amount of part-time work) for that employer
  • have a valid job offer from that employer for at least one year after we issue your permanent resident visa

Appreciate your views on this.
