Job Offer........
Pre-Assessed..
I am working as a drywall installer (NOC 7284)(LMIA job) from sept 2014. My employer already had a empty LMIA and he filled it with my name and hrsdc approved it under my name and I got 2 years work permit based on my company in sept 2014.
Does that mean I will get 600 points in EE?? plz help

You will need to get a new one for EE purposes.
I believe wrong on this one:

5. Can an employer who currently employs a temporary foreign worker (TFW) use Express Entry to support their application for permanent residence?

Yes. As long as the TFW is in Canada working under a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), you can offer them a permanent job to support their application for permanent residence. Your TFW would have to create an Express Entry profile and include their job offer information. A job offer supported by an LMIA will give a candidate enough additional points and be ranked high enough to be invited to apply at the next eligible draw of candidates.

Yes you can use your existing LMIA number to qualify for FSTP/FSWP.
