" While I note that your employer, XXXXX Inc., has made you an offer of a permanent job, I note you are
not in possession of a valid positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Employment and
Social Development Canada. I also note that you are not currently working in Canada in a NOC 0, A or B
job on a work permit that was issued based on a Labour Market Impact Assessment.
I note that LMIA # xxxxxxx was valid from 2013/02 to 2013/08.
I note your work permit valid from 2014/08/05 to 2016/09/24 was issued with an exemption from the
requirement of an LMIA in relation to the Province of Alberta Occupation-Specific Pilot Project –
OB 279-E.
I note that your application for permanent residence was made on 2016/02."
When I applied for work permit valid from 2014/08 to 2016/09 I had to upload my LMO as it was. There was no info It was an exemption.
"Based on the documentation submitted with your application for permanent residence, I am not satisfied
you possess a qualifying offer of arranged employment, as defined in Section 1 of the Ministerial
Instructions Respecting the Express Entry System"
Both and old from June 2013 and Oct 2015 job offer letters state that they offer me job as skilled worker under "NOC:7321", doesn't say "NOC:B".
And also I have a question if I can still work with my BOWP valid until June 2017 or I have to pack myself until end of my current work permit.
My employer did not applied for new LMIA as they did already for other 3 people in differnet branches and was refused even as just LMIA for PR purposes.
And before on CIC web site about LMIA exemption was mentioned that I don't need renew my LMIA after it expires if I still work for the same employer. Now the page is changed
and I can not find it. I think I have a print out of it in my documents. Since I started to work in Canada , it is the same employer since almost 4 years. Never quit or was layoff even for one day.....
Thank You
