Hi,

I have a valid Open Work Permit and I got a permanent job offer last month and currently working.

In order for me to apply for PR under Skilled Workers category, should I get Arranged Employment Opinion / Labour Market Opinion from my employer?

Or these are not required, as I have OWP, permanent offer and employed?

Kindly clarify.

Regards,
Nayek

Only if you got your work permit through an LMO.

Hey buddy...I am a newbie...I posted a Question last week, but no one replied though. Anyways thought I would do my part in helping you guys. Here's some information that may help you.


Factor 5 – Arranged Employment
(maximum 10 points)

To obtain points for this factor, you must have a permanent job offer in Canada, be capable of carrying out the work, and likely to accept the job. The job offer must be in an occupation listed in Skill Type 0 or Skill Level A or B of the National Occupational Classification. One of the following situations must also apply.

You are working in Canada on a temporary work permit and
your temporary work permit was issued after receipt of a positive labour market opinion of your job offer from Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC);
you are currently working in that job;
the work permit was valid at the time you made your permanent resident visa application and at the time the visa, if any, is issued; and
your employer made an offer to employ you on an indeterminate basis once the permanent resident visa is issued.
OR
You are working in Canada on a temporary work permit and
your temporary work permit was exempted from the requirement of obtaining a labour market opinion of your job offer from HRSDC on the basis of an international agreement (e.g., NAFTA or GATS), a significant benefit to Canada (e.g., intra-company transfer) or public policy on Canada’s academic or economic competitiveness (e.g., post-graduate work);
you are currently working in that job;
the work permit was valid at the time you made your permanent resident visa application and at the time the visa, if any, is issued; and
your employer made an offer to employ you on an indeterminate basis once the permanent resident visa is issued.
OR
You are working in Canada on a temporary work permit and
the circumstances described in 1 and 2 above do not apply to you;
your employer has made an offer to employ you on an indeterminate basis once the permanent resident visa is issued; and
your permanent job offer has received a positive labour market opinion from HRSDC. You cannot apply to HRSDC for a labour market opinion yourself. Your employer must apply for you.
OR
You do not intend to work in Canada before being issued a permanent resident visa, you do not hold a temporary work permit, and
the employer has made an offer to employ you on an indeterminate basis once the permanent resident visa is issued; and
your permanent job offer has received a positive labour market opinion from HRSDC. You cannot apply to HRSDC for a labour market opinion yourself. Your potential employer must apply for you.
you meet the Canadian licensing or regulatory requirements for the job.
