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

[waqar.azhar]

Hi,

Need urgent help. I am currently working on a closed work permit based on LMIA. I have completed 1 year of experience and have received ITA. I am claiming points for job offer as the employer has given me job offer that my job will continue and I don't need new LMIA as I am working for same employer on my work permit for an year now and a job that was backed by LMIA.

In EE I answered pre-ITA

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

But i realize now that I should have answered it NO. Because I don't need new LMIA. If i correct my application now before submitting and add LOE that it does not impact my score would that be fine ?

Hi , if your work permit is LMIA Exempt, then you can claim additional 50 only on the basis , if you can provide a fresh letter from your employer stating , they will continue to hire you for long time ever after you get your PR with NOC code , roles ans responsibilities and working hours.

Hi, I'm a post-doc and has worked in the current position for more than 2 years. Now, my supervisor agreed to give me a job offer letter so I changed my ee profile to get the 50 points but even after 24 hours the points is not added. I was wondering whether there is there any delay or I have answered the question wrongly.

I am in similar situation but didn't get 50 point after updating the application for LMIA exempt. Did u get the 50 point for LMIA?

 

[Lrawar]

Hey, yes I ended up getting the 50 points, but my job offer is LMIA approved not exempt. Im not sure how it works for LMIA exempt job offers

Hi,

For the question "Was a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) issued for the current work permit ?" what do I answer? I am currently on PGWP and have 2 year experience. Kindly help. Thanks.

 

[visalvarghese]

I am also in the same situation. I am already working with a closed work permit(3 years - From June 1, 2023 - present) supported by LMIA(expires in Sep 17, 2024). If I answer I have a valid job offer and Was a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) issued for the current work permit? Yes, then I get to enter my LMIA number and expiry date, but If I don't choose that, I don't see that option.

The options I tried
==========
1st option
Was a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) issued for the job offer in Canada : No
Was a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) issued for the current work permit? Yes

I got 50 points for this.


2nd option
Was a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) issued for the job offer in Canada : Yes
Was a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) issued for the current work permit? Yes
I got 50 points.

I don't know what should be the correct answer.

Can anyone help me with this?
