Work permit for bilingual people outside Quebec, LMIO Exemption

[chris.y]

You’re a French-speaking or bilingual skilled worker who intends to work in a Francophone community outside Quebec
Based on your answer, you may be eligible for an employer-specific work permit if you:

will live and work in a Francophone community outside Quebec,
have been recruited through a Francophone immigration promotional event coordinated between the federal government and francophone minority community stakeholders,
use French on a daily basis, and
will work in a job at a National Occupation Code (NOC) skill level of 0, A or B.
You do not have to work in French to be eligible for this permit. However, we may ask you to complete language testing after you apply. You must get a score of 7 on the TEF: Test d’évaluation de français (available in French only).

If you apply online, you should provide a letter of explanation that briefly explains how you meet these requirements.

Before you submit your work permit application, your employer must:

submit an offer of employment to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada,
pay a $230 employer compliance fee, and
provide you with an offer of employment number.

Bonjour,

Can you guys explain me what type of work would be eligible for this kind of work permit LMIO Exemption ?
My lawyer says that my full-time (30hrs/Week) job offer from my Flight School in B.C as a Flight Instructor would be okay for it.
I have been working for them for more than 1.5 year.

I have actually a PGWP expiring soon.
I was thinking of doing a working holiday visa but my lawyer said to do the work permit for bilingual because it can be for 4 years.

Please Help.

Thank you

Chris

I have no experience of this but isnt the first hurdle being able to wrap in the BC flight school into this requirement below, seems possibly a lot of hassle for a single employee plus from what I read these events are generally held outside of Canada to attract French speakers into the country.

have been recruited through a Francophone immigration promotional event coordinated between the federal government and francophone minority community stakeholders,

Why not do the working holiday while you sort the answer to this out? You can do it yourself, it will be far easier and you have two years to decide what you want to do.

By that point, you may well qualify for express entry and skip this entirely.

Just a thought.

Thanks for your reply.

I am already in Express Entry CEC but not enough points for nomination.
I already applied for Working Holiday visa (Belgium) got refused two times for not actively residing in Belgium.
I got my answer by the way.

I can apply for the bilingual work permit, LMIA Exempt if full-time job offer is made and it's a skilled job.
