I have applied for Express Entry under Canadian Experience Class already and I am living in Canada working for a Bank. Under my profile, I did not state that I have a valid job offer even though I do work full time but my employer does not guarantee employment. My PGWP is expiring in exactly a month (september 26) and I need to apply for Bridging Open work permit today.

Will I need my current employer to submit Offer to Employment - LMIA exempt under the Employer portal? IMM5802 Offer of Employment to a Foreign National LMIA-Exempt

Please advise.

FYI - you don't need to apply today. The 30 days is a guideline and not a hard rule. As long as the BOWP application is submitted before your PGWP expires, you are good.

No LMIA needed.
