ITA - Offer of employment

[luizportela]

I got my ITA this week and I have a positive LMIA made by my company that I've been working for the past one year.

One of the documents requested is the "Offer of employment", which states:

Document: Offer of Employment
You must provide a job offer letter from the employer who wants to hire you. It must be printed on company letterhead, and state that you will be employed permanently in Canada by that company. The letter must specify whether the job is:

for continuous, paid, full-time work (at least 30 hours a week),
for work that is permanent and not seasonal, for at least one year after we issue your permanent visa
skill type 0, or skill levels A or B of the 2011 National Occupational Classification (NOC)
(Note – in most cases, the job offer must be for a permanent job. For some types of jobs, it has to be for at least one year.)

The job offer letter must include contact information for the company (address, telephone number and email address).

For my understanding, this is very similar to a standard Job Offer, but looking for my Job offer, which is one year old, it doesn't have some specific information, like "permanent", "valid one year after the permanent visa issue", and Skill type, NOC, ETC.

Some questions:

- It's OK ask for the HR a "backdated" job offer including the missing information? or Should I send a new job offer, with a new date, to CIC?
- Do I have to include the NOC number in the Job offer? or just the Job title is enough, even if the Job title is not listed on the NOC 2173?

A valid job offer is a NEW offer of FUTURE employment, valid for at least one year AFTER becoming a permanent resident (it must say something like that). It should NOT be backdated, it should have a current date.

NOC is determined by the lead statement and the job duties and responsibilities, not job title. The list of job titles are just examples. The NOC is desirable but not mandatory in the job offer letter.

Thanks for the reply Jes.

I'm gonna ask my HR department a new JOB offer.

In my case, I started working for them on 10 April 2019.

What do you think they should put in the "start date" in the Job offer?

- 10 April 2019?
- A new future date?
- A date after my positive LMIA, for example?

It doesn't need a start date. What matters is that it is a full-time offer for at least one year after PR.

from the CIC website the "expected start date", it's a must requirement.

It's confusing

Then have them put your actual start date.

Sorry to bother you again.

What about?

start date: upon obtaining permanent resident status

What's is less worst?

- Future job offer with start date in the past
- Future job offer with start date "after PR issued" - but I'm working for the company tough

As I said, your actual start date. "Luiz started working here X. He will work here full-time for at least one year after PR."
