Hello Everyone,

How easy is it for my sister to get immigration if I get her a Job offer letter from my company in downtown Toronto? I am a permanent resident here.

She is currently not working in Pakistan and she only has around 1 year work experience overall

So if i get her a job letter from my company is it easy to get PR under skilled worker class?

thanks

PR application for Arranged Employment category is relatively quicker and has a much higher conversion ratio than NOC/other Categories .

Good Luck!

so basically all my employer has to do is to provide an employment letter to my sister right??

They can easily make one even though my sister wont be working with them. We would only use it to get immigration


is this how it works or am i missing something here??

I am sure there is more involved here. The Employer would be in a better position to answer this question.

First of all, what you are proposing is fraud. It is a misrepresentation to CIC that your sister will have a job offer, when you know she won't, and it can lead to rejection of the application plus a ban from Canada for 2 or more years (even for visiting). Not only your sister but your company and anyone who participated in this fraud (including you) can get in big trouble for this. If you are not a citizen of Canada you can even lose your PR and be deported. Is it worth the risk when your sister can just submit an honest application?

Second, it is not as simple as writing up a job offer. The employer must first attempt to find a Canadian to do the job. Then they must submit proof to some Canadian agency that they they tried to find a Canadian but couldn't, and get a Labour Market Opinion which is an official statement from some government agency that they can hire someone from outside Canada. Then finally the offer letter and LMO must be submitted with the FSW application, along with all of the other necessary documents.

No - it's nowhere that easy. The employer also needs to obtain an approved LMIA. You should look into the requirements for the LMIA your employer has to obtain. It's quite an involved and long process and includes paying a processing fee of $1000.

Given these complications for the "job offer" method, how then the "Express Entry" system will work?
