Express Entry using LMO/LMIA

[Mackfernan11]

I created my EE profile using my LMO for I am currently employed and my WP expires on June 2015. It gives me 600 points for arranged employment and gave me fairly score in total. Is there anyone here who did the same thing?

How did you fill out the "LMIA" questions? like cert number, issue date, expiry date etc..?

Thanks

I did and I just used the information on my LMO in lieu of the LMIA info they are asking for. My permit expires April 2015 and I already submitted my PR application.

If you have file number .. With that you can file BOWP right?

I do not have a definite answer to your question, but here is my thoughts: If you want to bridge your work permit I believe you will have to wait for CIC to confirm that your EE PR application is eligible. The bridging works differently for EE applicants. Traditionally CIC will have to first verify everything before issuing an AOR to an applicant and thus already confirmed that the applicant is a qualifying candidate and should be granted a work permit extension while awaiting for decision. However, EE PR applicants receive AOR right after they have paid and transmitted their applicants and CIC has no way to tell whether the applicants are indeed qualified for the program they are apply. Thus, AOR alone isn't enough to prove that the EE PR applicants are eligible to apply for PR and which is why you have to wait until CIC states your EE PR applicant is eligible for the program you are applying under before you can bridge your permit.

I believe someone did a search and found a statement on CIC website that implies the same thing but I cannot remember where I saw that.

Hi ngelsa,
So as per my understanding , LMO which opinion date expires could also be used for claiming 600 points in Express Entry. As I am on Work Permit and I was confused that if I have to get a new LMIA from my employer or I can use the same old LMO on basis of which I got my Work permit.
Further more can you specify any other documents required while submitting the original PR application in express entry after getting the invitation to apply for PR.

correct..
my suggestion is get in the pool as soon as possible (of course if u did the celpip or IELS).. submit you application and you will get ITA and AOR...
you need an AOR in order to claim you BOWP.

Good luck, yes LMO is valid, but hurry up before laws will be changed.

Ciao for now
