I got the employment letter from my employer with all the required details, but nothing is mentioned as for how long I'll working in Canada. My WP is valid till April, 2018. So, am worried about last point below, can some one provide your opinions on point c? becoz by the time CIC takes decision and request for passport, my WP won't be valid for 1 year.
IRCC provides the details of how you can meet the requirements for a "valid job offer" on its website:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/offer.asp
You'll see that IRCC emphasizes, "A work permit on its own is not a job offer, even if it is an open work permit."
You must have an offer of FUTURE employment specifiying at least one year of employment AFTER becoming PR.
I think this is a universal statement and is valid for newly immigrating people but not us as we are already working in Canada.
You would be wrong - note that one of the criteria is that you have already been working for the Canadian employer for one year, so it could only be for people already working in Canada.
--> you have a valid work permit for a NOC 0, A or B job that is exempt from needing an LMIA, and you:
a.) are currently working for an employer specified on the work permit
b.) have one year of full-time work experience (or an equal amount of part-time work) for that employer and
c.) have a valid job offer from that employer for at least one year after we issue your permanent resident visa. This is the part that you are missing and will need to claim/keep the 50 points.
Thanks Jes. So, can you pls suggest me further as what should I do.
I received AOR on Feb 6th, and below is my appl status, my appl was picked in Dec 22 draw, and i've been working close to 3 yrs now for the same employer on ICT and my WP expires on April 2018. Will I be good to consider for further processing?
