As per CIC, the only valid job offer is one which is supported by a positive LMIA.

All other applicants will need to provide POF which, for CEC applicants alone, can include monies in the bank along with other supporting evidence including work authorization status, offer letter mentioning salary details, pay stubs, T4s etc. Upload an LOE explaining that all of these are sufficient proof that you can take complete financial responsibilities for yourself and your family in Canada.

The exact same thing has happened to a bunch of us. I just went ahead and got the PoF letters since it was pretty easy to do. No one seems to know why they are asking since the website says you don't have if you have a LMIA job offer and are currently working in Canada.

Good day.
I actually have a job offer, do I need to show POF? I haven't applied yet since I'm still gathering all the necessary documents.
I appreciate all the advise that will be shared.
Thank you and have a nice day.
