I recently created a profile under express entry. I'm under a closed work permit( which is exempt from(LMIA) and got a valid job offer for 1 year from my employer.

My current work permit is exempt from LMIA but still I dint get the additional 50 points? Can anyone pls help me in understanding this? Below are my responses.

Was a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) issued for the job offer in Canada?

No
 
If i'm not mistaken there should be an answer that goes like this for the last question.

"No, LMIA exempt and work permit employer specific"

That's the option you have to pick.
 
Thank you I did find that option and I have updated. Still the additional 50 points are not added.

I answered 'No' to the below question. Is this a factor to decide additional 50 points? We have only 'Yes'/'No for this question.

No that's fine, you have to wait 24 hrs for the changes to be updated.
 
Just a question, what if I got 6 months experience on a open work permit for the employer and another 6 months on a closed work permit for the same employer, can I claim the 50 points ?? Or it has to be one year fully on the closed wp ?
