Express Entry Profile - Work History Section - LMIA

[AnyUserName]

Hello,

I've a few questions regarding filling work history section:

Background: I'm currently working in Canada on a closed work permit for which a LMIA exemption was obtained.

Questions:

1. Under, * Does [name] have a job offer in Canada?

- If I enter "yes" does that mean I need to get a new offer from my company? because entering "no" doesn't allow me to enter other details.

2. Under, Does [name] job offer from the employer named on the current work permit?

- I entered "yes".

3. Was a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) issued for the current work permit?

- I got LMIA exempt based on reciprocal agreement. Does that fall under:

(1) No - My work permit is exempt from an LMIA for other reasons and is employer-specific
(2) No - My work permit is exempt from an LMIA due to an international agreement


I've already submitted Express Entry profile, and wondering if I need to update the application to avoid mis-representation?

I've received scores for this:

CRS - Arranged Employment

50

Thank you

Bump. Somebody?

Have you worked for your employer for a full 12 months in Canada yet?

If not, just answer no to all of the questions.

If yes, then answer yes to the first two questions and no to the third question. You will need a letter from your employer that indicates you will have a job with them for at least a year after you become a PR.

Thank you for the response @scylla . Yes, I've worked for more than 12 months.

Regarding the third question -

Does reciprocal agreement based LMIA exemption fall under

(1) No - My work permit is exempt from an LMIA for other reasons and is employer-specific
(2) No - My work permit is exempt from an LMIA due to an international agreement

?

Regarding :

You will need a letter from your employer that indicates you will have a job with them for at least a year after you become a PR.

My original offer letter already shows that job is until 2023. Would I need a new letter?

Thank you!

I'm not sure about the answer to your first question.

For your second question, you should really get a new letter that specifically states you have a job for at least a year after PR.

1. You need a new job offer stating you will have full-time permanent employment for one year after receiving PR. You can’t use orginal letter.

3. If employer specific choose 1. International agreements are LMIAS under trade agreements like CUSMA
