LMIA exempted job offer requirement after working 1 year in contract

Hello,

I have situation.
Presently, I am in open work-permit and working for company 'B' whereas it's a full-time, 1 year contract with company 'E' and in payroll of 'Z'. It's bit confusing but this is how it is now.

As communicated, after working for 1 year in contract, either company E or company B most likely to hire me in full-time permanent position, where I will be actually working in same project/position/role. Basically, from work perspective, everything remains same just only I become permanent employee of B (or E) instead of contractor.

So my question is, can I use the job offer I am getting from B after one year as LMIA exempted job offer?
If yes, what all documents I might need to produce and I need to keep on collecting from now.


Another question,
This company Z (I am working under whose payroll), is depositing my salary by check and in bank statement that is showing up as "Third Party Transfer".
Can anyone please tell me if this is okay or not? He is saying it would affect in PR application or in case applying work permit for spouse.

Sharing any supporting CIC link will be really of great help.

Thanks,
Subhajit

I don't know why it is a general understanding here on this forum that payslips are a "requirement". No where in list of documents payslips is mentioned as a requirement by IRCC. The requirement is that work reference letter should mention the compensation. If your letter mentions that you don't need to show any payslips. I'm saying this from personal experience as I never submitted any but my compensation was clearly mentioned on reference letter and it was fine.

Now, if you can't get compensation mentioned on work reference letter than yes you may need payslips but even in that case I see no issues with what you described. It can be easily explained in LOE.

As you are on an open work permit, if you want to claim the 50 points for a job offer, you need an LMIA.

As said above - you need an approved LMIA to claim the 50 points.

The only exemption to this rule applies to individuals who are here on LMIA exempt closed work permits (such as ICTs). Once they work in Canada for a year, they are eligible for the 50 points. You, however, are not - unless your employer obtains an approved LMIA.

-- Sorry there was a typo actually, I meant to say 'would not'... and by he I meant owner of company 'Z'.
