Hi,

Thank you in advance for your help.

I am living in Canada via International Experience Canada (IEC) with a Open Work Permit exempt from LMIA allowed for 1 year. I will apply for the PR through Express Entry, and I will need the 50 points from the Job Offer in order to get it.

However, I don't understand if I meet the criteria to get the points or how to get them, I will highlight in red my questions on the requirements, please help me to answer them. The requirements said the following:

A valid job offer for Federal Skilled Workers and Canadian Experience Class has to be:
  • made by one employer (✔)
  • continuous (✔)
  • paid (✔)
  • full-time (at least 30 hours a week) (✔)
  • for at least one year after we issue your permanent resident visa (It's a permanent position, is that it?)
    • not seasonal
  • in a job that is NOC:
    • Skill Type 0 or
    • Skill Levels A or B (✔)
It also must be made :
  • by an employer with a new positive LMIA that approves the offer and names you and your position (Doesn't apply) OR
  • if you’re currently working in Canada in a NOC 0, A or B job on a work permit that was issued based on an LMIA (Doesn't apply) , and:
    • you’re working for an employer listed on your work permit
    • you’re authorized to work in Canada on the day you apply for a permanent resident visa, and when the visa is issued
    • your current employer made you an offer to give you a full-time job for at least one year if you’re accepted as a permanent resident OR
  • if you have a valid work permit for a NOC 0, A or B job that is exempt from needing an LMIA, (✔) and you:
    • are currently working for an employer specified on the work permit (I don't have an employer specified on my work permit, because it is an open work permit, what should I do?)
    • have one year of full-time work experience (or an equal amount of part-time work) for that employer (Since my work permit is only for 1 year, I don't have 1 year experience)
    • have a valid job offer from that employer for at least one year after we issue your permanent resident visa (✔)

There has to be someone that passed through the same thing.

I appreciate it all the help you can provide me.

Thanks,

Your employer must obtain an approved LMIA for you to qualify for the 50 points.
