LMIA Expiry date - Express Entry

[c0109]

Have a question.
When my LMIA was issued the opinion expiry date was 10-12-2014. But duration of employment says 2 years in LMIA. and work permit was issued till Nov 2016.

Is this LMIA good enough for getting 600 points in express entry? I got this doubt because LMIA already expired.

Pl let me know.

As per my understanding, it will fetch u 600 points. The work permit is active and u hv a job confirmation..the LMIA expiry date is the date by when you should apply for visa.

In EE profile under Intended work in Canada, there is question

LMIA expiry date

Should I give it as Nov 2016. Initially, I have given it as 10 Dec 2014. Should I change it to my last working day as issued as part of work permit?

Somebody please advice me on this. I am almost set to submit my PR application. I hope not to make wrong entry.

Based on what you have here your LMO has already expired (Dec 2014) but your work permit is valid until 2016. In that case, you will not be able to use it. You will need a new LMIA to submit your EE. If it's expired you will not get the 600 points. To get the 600 points, your employer needs to apply for a new LMIA for you to prove that you have a valid job offer here. I am in a similar situation so this I am sure of. So if you need to indicate the expiry date to them it's Dec 2014.

If the LMO Has expired I don't think it counts for 600 points. I'm pretty sure it needs to be current.

If you have a LMO until feb 2016 can't you apply for a work permit until the end of your LMO?

How come your LMO is valid till Feb 2016? It is generally given for 6 months or less i.e.,Opinion Expiry Date

perhaps you should continue with your application since they have you the 600 points and hope all goes well.

Your LMO expiry date is Nov 2016. There is no doubt about this. I too have LMO until May 2016. You will get 600 points for it as well. The 6 months expiry is the opinion given on your LMO, before that you should apply for WP. Opinion expiry date has nothing to do with your LMO Expiry as long as you applied for WP before that.
