Tip how to get 50 points without LMIA

[Anford]

Hi, here's a tip what to answer to receive 50 points for valid job offer without LMIA.

My situation: I'm BC PNP nominated and thanks to BC PNP support letter, I applied for close work permit which I've been on in Canada now. In my express entry profile I filled following and it gives me 50 points even I didn't have LMIA issued:

Section Intended work in Canada:

Hahaha, do you have a valid job offer?

It has to be either an lmia one or you have a closed work permit and you've been with your employer for at least a year. If you haven't been there for a year YOU CANNOT CLAIM THE 50 POINTS!!!

Yes, I've been working for that employer past 3 years... Sorry, forgot to mention before!

Have you worked on the closed work permit for a year?

 

[Anford]

Have you worked on the closed work permit for a year?

No, not on this close work permit, but on my working holiday and young professional visa. But as far as I know, it doesn't have to be on the close work permit.
The question they ask is "Have you been working full-time for the employer on their current work permit for at least one year?" Which I have... In 2014, 2015 and 2016. The same employer was also written on my Young professional visa.

Am I missing something?

 

[kryt0n]

No, not on this close work permit, but on my working holiday and young professional visa. But as far as I know, it doesn't have to be on the closed work permit. The question they ask is "Have you been working full-time for the employer on their current work permit for at least one year?" so maybe I don't understand it right?

Your current work permit is the closed work permit, so you haven't been working on it for a year so you cannot claim the points.

Also these points aren't 'tips'. They are the facts that qualify someone for a valid job offer or not. The valid job offer definition is very clear on CICs site. If you don't have the valid job offer, you don't qualify for the points

But isn't the question meant to be: Current work permit has to state the same employer which you have work for at least 12 months, no matter on which work permit?

Thank you so much for your answers btw! If we find out what I'm saying is wrong, I delete this thread to not to confuse anybody.

Your current work permit is the one you are currently using to work with. The one currently valid. Have you been working for a year on your current work permit?

Hey, i just made my express entry profile, my answers were same as your, but i have an open work permit, worked with same employer for more than an year.

Which answer reflects on what kind of work permit we have, is it question 11 ?

If you're on an open work permit you do not qualify for those points! It must be a closed work permit!!!

You do not have a VALID JOB OFFER!!!

If you have an open work permit your first answer should have been "no"

Only applicants with LMIA or a LMIA exempt work permit which is employer specific have valid job offers.

 

[karanssharma]

Yea, i did that and all other question go away,

was it because you have applied for the job from outside canada and you have closed work permit ? and thanks for the clarity

On this website, it states that
have been working full-time for the employer on your work permit for at least one year

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/offer.asp
While on this website it's slightly different
have one year of full-time work experience (or an equal amount of part-time work) for that employer

But it's not important at all whether you can claim it or not. For a PNP nominee, what do you need the 50 points for?
