Post doctoral research treated as job offer?

[East Coast]

hi everyone
I'm applying for a post doctoral research scholarship in a Canadian university. I wonder if such a post-doc offer can be treated as a job offer from migration view in order to proceed with relevant visa options. Appreciate if forum members can share information or experience. Thank you

I believe it cannot be used for claiming CRS points as it is a LMIA exempt job. However, you can claim points after 1 year or if you already have been in the same post doc for past 1 year.

LMIA exempt jobs can only be used to express entry job offer for migration if you had been on it for a year already and would still have at least a year left by the time your PR is granted...So once you get the Postdoc, you would need too get a work visa first and then you can always apply after a year or apply within Canada in the FSW stream if you are eligible

Hi All,
I am in similar situation. I am a postdoc with three years of experience and now I have a job offer for two years. But I am not sure why I am not getting points for a valid job offer.
these are some questions that I think, I am answering wrong?

Was a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) issued for the job offer in Canada? (required) - no

Was a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) issued for the current work permit? (required) \
1) yes
2) no
3) no-my work permit is exempt from LMIA due to an international agreement
4) no-my work permit is exempt from LMIA due to a federal-provincial agreement

5) no-my work permit is exempt from LMIA due to other reasons and employer-specific

If I pick option 5 I do get (50) points but I am not sure if that is the right option for me as I am funded by my supervisor's grant.

please help me.

thanks in advance.
