Hi KRC,

If you are on ICT then you should choose last option against "Was a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) issued for the current work permit?" question which is like "exempted and employer specific". Also, it does take atleast 24 hours after you update your profile so please be patient

Hello,
I had created a EE profile a few weeks back. After the change in EE points system, I updated my EE profile. Currently I'm in ICT with closed WP, LMIA exempt. I was expecting 50 points but the points never updated.

So, I withdrew my profile and created a whole new one to see if this helps. I created the profile again today, and status shows all forms are "Transmitted" and "Submitted". But, the points are still not updated.

Can someone tell me if there is any thing else that triggers the 50 points?

PS: Similar to the previous response, I've updated my profile similar the one shown below

Q1: Does FirstName Lastname have a job offer in Canada?
The offer must:
• be for full-time and for at least one year
• meet different requirements depending on type of job (i.e. some need apprenticeships and certification) and
• be non-seasonal for Federal Skilled Workers.
YES

Q2: Information about the job offer
Is this job offer for work that is:
• full-time
• continuous and
• for at least one year?

Q5: Job title: xxx

• Employer or company name?
• Contact address of employer or company
Intended location of employment in Canada
• Province or territory

I am on ICT and 3 years CEC with 478 points after 19-Nov. Waiting for my last boat ...

 

[jagsisingh]

I think you will soon make to the draw. I think first few draws might go off 490 but you will get there around 2-3 months as all other high point ICT guys will get first few chances.

The longer it takes it is difficult to keep up my additional points. since they expect an offer with 1+ post PR .. I should get in first couple of draws otherwise i may not get .. waiting again as I have been waiting for 2 years for this EE change ...

Wondering what folks from Indian Companies are going to provide for Job Offer. Its very unlikely that these companies will give in writing any offer letter in CIC Specific format. I am ICT Work permit that is going to expire in March 2017 and company is filing my extension for next 2 years. I do have Canada Letter that we receive while ICT extension that mentions my role and responsibilities details, length of my project(2 Years) and other details. Does That suffice as Job Offer? Any suggestions\thoughts on this?

Got my 50 points
Updated the answers this morning and showing new score now.

Job offer with LMIA exempt WP

RG74: can you please help me here. i am on same work permit as yours. i updated my profile, however didn't get the 50 points. Was a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) issued for the current work permit?

i chose this answer. my work permit is exempt from LMIA for other reasons and is employer specific.

i still haven't got the 50 points. am i missing anything or should do anything to get 50 more points.

thank you in advance.

Does the below mean that 1 year duration of job offer is not needed (lesser duration is ok) to satisfy option a, as option b calls out 1 year of job offer letter after PR explicitly.


-------------------------

As per the Canada Gazette Ministerial Instructions Amending the Ministerial Instructions Respecting the Express Entry System, 2016-1. It says either (a) or (b).

I'm getting different views about the option a and b mentioned above.

Can some seniors explain what's needed for option a vs option b and what are the docs that needs to be taken care for it.

Thanks.

Hello Experts,

I'm in a situation where current employer is delaying in providing Experience letter.

I'm on a closed work permit with my current employer with whom I have been working for almost 9 years,
7 years in India and then transferred to same employers Canadian office, and I have been working here in Canada for more than 19 months.

However, it has been very hard convincing them to provide me work experience letter to apply for my PR.

Please advise on below options.
1. I have pay stubs for past 19 months and offer letter given while landing in Canada, and experience letter given 2 year back while applying for work permit. Can these submitted?

2. My current client where I'm working for my employer is interested in hiring me after I get PR, so there are willing to provide me work experience letter and also an Informal/conditional offer letter. So, as there is a question in the online PR application 'How many employers made this job offer?',
so my question is can I say that I have 2 job offers, one from the current employer and another from the client I'm working?
Also if I submit clients experience letter & conditional offer letter will that be considered as valid?

3. Can I submit a self-attested letter stating my situation, and the email communication which shows that I was trying to get experience letter from my current employer and also submit above all the documents?

I would really appreciate any helpful advise. Thanks in advance.

Thanks,
Raj

I got my PR finally. Landed to Canada on 9th June 2017. There was lot of confusion whether to claim 50 additional points as my employer was not issuing offer letter specifying I will have job for 1 year after getting PR. I took the risk and claimed additional 50 points. Here are the alternate document which I had used to prove my offer.

1. Offer letter issued during work permit extension.
2. Employment reference letter (My employer issued Employment reference letter for my Parent Visa application. I attached the same with the application).
3. Initial offer letter which I had received in my home country.
4. Appointment letter which I had received in my home country.
5. Secondment letter.

I hope this will be useful to all aspiring candidates.

My time lines

1. EP created 16th Feb 2016 under CEC.
2. Got ITA 22nd Dec 2016
3. AOR 23 Jan 2017
