Hello,

I and my friend are creating her profile for CEC.

The express entry questions about work:
1. We reach the work history form.
Under intended work in Canada: Does she have job offer in Canada? Does we answer YES or NO. We answered YES and it is asking about LMIA?

What do we do?

The question refers to what IRCC calls "valid job offer" or "arranged employment" - it refers to having an offer of FUTURE employment for at least one year after you become a PR, that meets specific conditions. It does NOT refer to a job you might currently have in Canada. You can read more about it here:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/offer.asp

Chances are, you should change the answer to the question of the "job offer" to NO.

BTW - no one here would consider that question to be "URGENT" - you run the risk of people ignoring you in the future : )

Thanks and sorry for the urgent. I was creating a profile of the friend on Tuesday night and hoping she gets an inviteon Wednesday as her visa was expiring. I couldn't wait for a day, hence urgent. However noted your advice.

Thanks again.
