Hi,
We have applied for PR under FSW with my wife as the principle applicant. So far we have 465 points. My wife's company had applied for her LMIA which got approved 2 days ago. So we thought now everything should be fine since we would get the additional 600 points. But now we realised that the LMIA states that the position is for 1 year only and not permanent. Our lawyer said that in order to get additional 600 points the offer letter from the company should state that she is being offered a permanent position and not for one year (as stated in LMIA).
Does any one if this is true that the job offered should be permanent in order to get 600 additional points? we talked to some other lawyer and he said that we can get 600 points on the same LMIA and it need not be a permanent position. Has anyone got their ITA due to LMAI which is for a non-permanent position?
Please help.
Regards,
Anshul
