Hello All,
THANK YOU NOTE:
Its finally time, for me to get seriously start collecting info about this process. I have read through a lot of posts and thank to you guys learnt a lot about the procedures.
ACTUAL QUESTION
:
So I recently completed 1 Year of full-time work under the NOC - 2172 which was under contract and my contract has been extended for another year. I am also becoming permanent within the a month. I received my 3 Year PGWP around November 2015. I was wondering if it is absolutely required for me to ask my company to do an LMIA for my position. When I filled in my Comprehensive Ranking Tool, I had received a total score of 474 but it had no questions regarding the LMIA.
While filling in the Express Entry Profile, The question that stumped me was:
Which of these categories does xxx job fall under?
A.)No work permit required
B.)Work permit required, No LMIA required
C.)Work permit required, LMIA required
When I check the requirements, I do not think I meet the LMIA exemption requirements as I do not meet the last line:
has a valid, employer-specific temporary work permit that is exempt from an LMIA under R204 (a) or (c), or R205. This includes:
international agreements
federal-provincial agreements, or
significant benefit to Canada candidates including mobilite francophone
But it also say:
"Applicants who do not need an offer of arranged employment to meet program requirements are not obligated to obtain one."
Could someone let me know if I need an LMIA?
Thank you for your help!
