To request a Job Offer, you need to request your employer to do the following (my employee did this to me and this is the message my company got from the government to proceed with the request):
IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada –formerly known as CIC Citizenship and Immigration Canada) announced changes to the International Mobility Program requiring employers and applicants to pay an additional fee prior to issuing new work permit. Refer to this link
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/employers/hire-how.asp and follow the instructions on International Mobility Program (IMP). In hiring workers under the IMP you will need to pay $230 cad and submit an offer of employment form through the employment portal.
You also need to write a letter with the logo of the company you're working for, stating what you do, when did you start, your NOC, your wage (per year), your hours (per week or per month), your benefits.
You must ask your direct manager to sign and date this letter and to be able to confirm that you're working for them.
