Express Entry: What if I have offer from Canadian company on my own.

[devilfriends]

Hello Guys,

I have a query?

I live and work in India, I have registered my EE profile on CIC website and My CRS score is 350. If some company offers me employement in Canada(through my personel links and interview -without using job bank) and gives me offer letter then how do i link that offer letter to EE profile to get 600 additional points for arranged employement?


I am not aware of exact process, please guide me...


Thanks,
d' friend

As long as you have a job offer with supported LMIA then you will get 600 points regardless of how you have got the job.

The employer has to apply for the LMIA.

They have to advertise the job for 4 weeks and if they can't find a Canadian to do it they can submit an application for an LMIA and have to prove that they couldn't hire a Canadian. Then in a few months they will hear if it's been granted or denied.
If the LMIA has been granted then they can extend the job offer to you and you will be able to add this to your EE profile to gain the additional 600 points.

But essentially, to get the additional points you need an LMIA for the job.
