Hi Folks,

I'm more than an year experienced in NOC A with Open work permit. Now my current employer is ready to give an offer letter supported by LMIA.

How do I fill (Intended work in canada) section while creating express entry profile?

Do you have a job offer in canada?
Yes (I assume yes because I get an offer letter supported by LMIA)

Was a positive Labour Market Information Assessment (LMIA) issued for the job offer in Canada?
Yes

Is .. currently working in Canada?
Yes

Does .. have a valid work permit for the current job in Canada?
Yes

Does the job offer from the employer named on the current work permit?
No (because it does not stated it there).

Has ..... been working full-time for the employer on their current work permit for at least one year? (Or for an equal amount of part time work?)
(In this case what do I select)

Four digit NOC code of current work permit
There is no option for selecting "NO"
(In this case what do I select)

Was a positive Labour Market Information Assessment (LMIA) issued for the current work permit?
No



Please help me here
Thanks in advance

So your employer has completed and filled out the paper work for a LMIA, paid $1k, and got an approved LMIA. The process takes months as the employer has to prove no Canadian or PR can do the job.

1. You select how long you been working with the employer? If a year, put a year.
2. What is the NOC?

I have NOC for LMIA. But the actual question is not for LMIA right. It is for Current work permit

Strange… you can’t leave it blank. Plus you don’t have a LMIA yet so can’t fill out the EE application as yes. If you want a valid profile, you set it up without a LMIA and job offer.
