Lmia shows one year contract, actual it's 11 months, chances?

[sjrohit]

Hi guys,

I am working in Canada right now on work visa which ends in Sept 2015. As per my lmia, it's a one year contact, but due to some delay in visa, I joined the company 1 month late.
Hence, my current employer has given me reference letter only with 11 months employment.
While applying for express entry, I had filled 1 year job offer, so based on that I got 600 points and I got the ita as well. I am yet to submit my PR application.

Now, what are my chances? Do you thing cic might reject my PR application because my actual employment is ending in 11 months only? Or they gonna blindly see lmia? Please advise.

Thanks,

Rohit

I thought the 600 points you get in EE is for a future LMIA job offer, not the one you currently have?

You might be right, even I am not sure about this.

You should not have any issues, when you submit your EE Application u need to have valid LMO that’s all for getting the 600 Points

Dear As you are already in canada, can you please suggest weather it is possible to arrange a LMIA frm Abroad?

Is there anyway you may help?

LMIA has to be for a permanent job. Double check 600 points applies if it is only short term

Your LMIA is not for a permanent job. Therefore, you will not qualify for the extra 600 points. The CIC is very clear about this, the job has to be permanent that is not contractual, seasonal, or has an end date. If you fill out your profile and say you have a permanent job with a LMIA, you must put in the LMIA positive number on your profile. When the CIC starts checking your documents and they see that you do not have a LMIA for a permanent job and that you put down you did to get the extra 600 points. At best they will reject your application, worse-case they will believe that you intentionally attempted to fraudulently obtain PR and you might be banned for 5 years. You should be extremely careful about submitting an application with wrong information you knowingly put in. Talk to a lawyer.
My personal opinion is that you should reject the ITA, honestly fill out your profile, and then resubmit it. It seems pretty clear that you intentionally are trying to game the system. That is not legal or right. It is unfair to all the other people who are following the rules and it wastes resources that could be working on a legimate application. Not a good thing to do.

Hi AshesnDust,

Thanks for the reply.

While filling the form it had asked me weather I had permanent job, I answered No. Then it asked me " do you have at least 1 year job offer?" I answered yes to that coz I have 1 year job offer. After that I got 600 points. Hope it works.
