Dear forum members
I have temporary work visa and will come to Canada soon.
I am interested in applying for FSW once inside Canada.
While I was checking the eligibility criteria I found out this:

Arranged employment
A valid job offer has to be for permanent, full-time and not seasonal work in a NOC 0, A or B occupation.
Depending on your case, there are different factors that make a job offer valid.
1. You currently work in Canada on a temporary work permit, and:
your work permit is valid both when you apply and when the visa is issued (or you are authorized to work in Canada when your visa is issued), and
CIC issued your work permit based on a positive labour market opinion (LMO) from Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC), and
you are working for an employer named on your work permit who has made a permanent job offer based on you being accepted as a federal skilled worker.
Does this means that once I start working for my employer I can apply for FSW and for arranged employment I don't need a new request for LMO.
I already received one LMO that I used for the application for Temporary work Permit.
This LMO was not for permanent job and is not valid anymore.
