What exactly does a "valid full-time job offer" mean?

Hi,
I am trying to figure out what exactly a "valid full-time job offer" mean when filling out a profile. Does it mean:
. That even before I reach Canada I need to have a job offer that will be valid for a year? OR
. That there is a written commitment to give a job that will be valid once the PR is successful and the employer then honours that job offer? OR
. That means that one is currently working for a Canadian employer and gets an offer for the job to be available for another year after PR?

Or any other condition?

Thank you

Are you already working in Canada? Here are the requirements. Generally to be valid the employer must apply for an LMIA to prove they couldn't hire a local. This will be difficult to impossible to obtain from abroad. Don't give yourself credit for a job offer unless you have an LMIA or know for certain you are exempt.
