Regina said:If let's say they intend to issue 2000 ITA in this particular draw and the top ones 2000 are with job offers and LMIA then nobody without job offers will get ITA at that draw.
If there are only 1200 applicants with job offers then 800 ITA will be issued to those without job offers,
praneet87 said:Job Offers and LMIA are same right?
tiffany123 said:No. You can have a job offer without a positive LMIA but you wont have 600 points, you need to obtain one that has possitive LMIA to get the points
praneet87 said:I meant aren't the same.
Regina said that top 2000 ones are with job offers and LMIA. Job offers and LMIA are two different things. Only LMIA will make sure that person is top. A job offer means nothing if its not LMIA assessed.
You do not need to quit your current job in Canada. You will need a contract for a PERMANENT JOB and to get LMIA before you apply to EE.It seems crazy that you would have to quit the job you're in and go looking for a another job so you have a "job offer", but I've seen no mention of points being awarded for applicants already in jobs

Regina said:You will have to get LMIA anyways.
In 2013, about 1200 applicants migrated to Canada with a validated job offer/AEO/Arranged Employment... Whatever you want to call it. Numbers in 2014 are not much different. This is coming from a CIC officer in a presentation at National Education Conference in Calgary on November 7th, 2014...
So, if the quota of CIC in 2015 is 47000-51000 immigrants under FSW plus the PNP and out of that say about a 1000 people have a validated job offer, where do you think the rest of immigrants will come from?
Sure I do not remember details but even if you have a job in Canada you will have to apply for LMIA for EE. Read www.cic.gc.ca.I dont think people without LMIA assessed job offer should worry too much over this.
