Received ITA for CEC category on 20 Aug draw, I am working on closed work permit (No LMIA) with little more than 1 year.
When I got the ITA, my CRS score didn't include 50 points of Arranged Employment.

Now, I have completed filling information in all sections. In work history section, I have selected option that my work permit is not LMIA based (This section is same as before ITA, I didn't made any changes here after ITA).

Before submitting application, checked on preview CRS score. I see 50 points for Arranged Employment being added to CRS score.

Can anybody please explain if this is correct ?

Thanks in advance!

Did you check a box that said you had a job offer? Just having an LMIA-exempt work permit would not add 50 points to your profile. After 1 year of work on an employer-named LMIA-exempt work permit you can receive points for Arranged Employment if your employer provides a job offer letter.

Yes.. I had checked box for job offer. Thanks for clarification.

Do you know what should be the job offer letter format in my case?
It will be usual offer letter that company provides when they hire, just with one difference being that it will have end date more that 1 year from time I get PR, right?
