Can someone please tell me if a copy of my LMIA will suffice as proof of a job offer?

Thanks in advance. ;)
 
Are you asking about getting the extra 600 points? If so, you also need a permanent job offer from your company.
 
I ve already completed my express entry, and have been Invited to apply for PR via CEC.
In the supporting documents checklist, one of the documents required is "Offer of Employment", the information icon says the following


-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,
-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).
 
If CIC is asking for some document you have to provide it the requested document, obviously.

Be sure the job offer letter meets CIC requirements
 
Agreed with the above. I'm not sure where the confusion is. You need to obtain a letter from your employer that meets the requirements outside by CIC.

So, NO, the LMIA by itself is not proof of a job offer. You also need the job offer letter.
