Points for job offer

[abderhamoumi]

HI THERE, I'M A FOREIGN WORKER UNDER THE FRANCOPHONE PROGRAM, I WORKED FOR MY FIRST EMPLOYER FOR OVER A YEAR THAN I GOT ANOTHER JOB OFFER THAT I ACCEPTED I HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR MY NEW EMPLOYER FOR 3 MONTHS ONLY, I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD GET 50 POINTS FOR THE JOB OFFER FROM MY CURRENT EMPLOYER, OR I HAVE TO COMPLETE ONE YEAR. THE EMAIL I RECEIVED FROM IRCC LAST WEEK STATING THAT ONLY THE ICT THAT NEEDS THE ONE YEAR.

These changes to the Express Entry system are now in effect:

A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) will not be needed for certain job offers. Many people in Canada with an LMIA exempt work permit will be able to carry that LMIA exemption under Express Entry if they meet certain conditions. This will allow more candidates to receive CRS points for their job offer and meet the program requirements of the federal skilled worker class and the federal skilled trades class.

Examples

North America Free Trade Agreement

federal-provincial agreements

Mobilité Francophone

intra-company transferees, as long as they meet certain criteria, such as at least one year of work experience from the same employer who is providing their job offer

Unfortunately you cannot claim those points as you do not "have a valid job offer from that employer for at least one year after we issue your permanent resident visa." You are not working for that employer anymore so you wouldn't be able to have a job offer for a year after you receive your PR. You cannot claim the 50 points.

Thanks for your reply Delpiero, I was talking about my current employer if he accepted to give me a job offer could I claim the 50 points even if I have been working for him for 3 months only.

No, you would need to work for one year on a full time basis with that employer.

"You have a valid work permit for one of the above listed skilled trade occupation and that is exempt from needing an LMIA, and you:

are currently working for an employer specified on the work permit
have one year of full-time work experience (or an equal amount of part-time work) for the employer(s) on your work permit who is making the offer and
have a valid job offer from that employer for at least one year after we issue your permanent resident visa."

Cheers

I don't think you will be able to claim the 50 points. For a LMIA work permit holder to claim 50 points, the worker should have worked for the employer named on the work permit for at least one year, and have an offer that's valid for at least a year after you are granted the permanent residence.
