Express Entry points for Canadian job offer

[Jevyyy]

You need to work with your current employer for a full year before you'll qualify for the 50 points. So the answer to your question is no regarding your current job.

Same for your previous employers (i.e. you can't claim the 50 points). You are no longer working for them so not possible to claim job offer points for these roles.

You need to wait 9 more months before it will be possible to claim the 50 points since you are on an LMIA exempt closed work permit.

Thank you so much!

You need to see what program you are eligible for. 400 is low. Is 400 with 50 points with LMIA?

yes 400 with 50 for lmia... too low I understand

Then receive your LMIA and apply for a closed work permit. When approved which is months away, move and work in Canada for a year and improve your CRS score.

Hey scylla,

Thank you again for your answer! I have two more quick questions, I would appreciate it if you can answer these.
I just realized that I'm eligible for an open work permit. If I get it would I need to spend 9 months with the company to claim the job offer points? If not, then would I need to make a new contract with the company which will be based on a new open work permit?

Thank you,
Jev

If you get an open work permit then you are only eligible for the 50 points if your employer gets an approved LMIA.

Hmm, I thought since open work permits are not restricted to an occupation or employer, they do not require an LMIA?

You're mixing up two different rules.

They do not require an LMIA if you just want to work on the open work permit.

However if you want to claim 50 points under Express Entry for having a job offer, then you need an approved LMIA from your employer.

Oh, I see now. Thank you!
