Hi All,

First of all, thank you for all the information and help here. I am originally from India but came to Canada for undergrad studies, got a bachelor's degree in New Brunswick and I have been working for over 1 year full-time on my Post-Graduate Work Permit under NOC code 0124 Advertising, marketing and public relations managers.

I have a few questions:

1) When I put in my NOC code, it asks when was the first date I was qualified for this NOC. I am not sure how to answer this as I got a marketing manager job directly after my Honours Bachelors degree. I don't know of any certification I would get before becoming a marketing manager. I do not have any previous work experience. I have worked under this NOC code on my current job for over 1 year.

2) On the CIC website, it says Employers seeking to employ open work permit holders are exempt from the requirement to first obtain a positive labour market impact assessment (LMIA) from Service Canada. If I have worked in this job for over 1 year and still working here, under my EE profile do I say I have a job offer with LMIA, no job offer, etc?

I'm not sure of the exact steps to fill an EE profile with the Canadian Experience Class, it says we don't need LMIA so do I lose those points automatically? Has anyone gone through CEC with 1 year work experience on the post-grad permit?

Thank you for your help
