I have a closed work permit from February 2021. My job offer doesn’t have an ending date, so I’m their employee until they lay me off or I quit.

Should I answer yes to the below or do I need a new LMIA / job offer? My NOC before the recent change in the NOC system was NOC 2174

8) Do you have a valid job offer supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (if needed)?
A valid job offer must be

- full-time
- in a skilled job listed as TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3 in the 2021 National Occupational Classification
supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or exempt from needing one
for one year from the time you become a permanent resident


A job offer isn’t valid if your employer is:

- an embassy, high commission or consulate in Canada or
- on the list of ineligible employers.
Whether an offer is valid or not also depends on different factors, depending on your case. See a full list of criteria for valid job offers.
