Ircc is just the worst rn. Ppl been waiting for 2years and you come with sky high crs selection and minimal selection of candidates. They need to stop advertising that they need candidates becaue they sure not looking like they need anyone. We spent so much money on ielts and ECAs. Its ridiculous. If they did 5000 candidates per draw they would be a little hope but at this rate. We might as well give up. I know I'm fed up now

 

[SatNight]

MAGIC!!! Although the scores are still crap. :X

Well now. This was magic to induce a draw. If anyone knows the one to lower scores, please share.

 

[SatNight]

Now when its resumed again the score is consistently higher for last two draws with NO PROGRAM SPECIFIED. Does canada even needs skilled workers?

But the score is 15 points lower than the last draw?

 

[SatNight]

Question: How many new 501+ candidates were added between these draws? Before July 6th, there were around 8770 people over 501 but less than 600. On July 18th, there were 9100.

It seems like a regular increase of about 330 people. Except that the last draw removed 1500 people (around 700-800 from this group), which means that there were around 7900 people left in the group. So does that mean that the 501-600 group increased by 1200 people??? Or is my assumption wrong?

you are 100% right, horrifyingly, right

 

[SatNight]

But

you are 100% right, horrifyingly, right

But... how? This cannot be regular.

Guys, please give me guidance here, I don't know what to do. I am working right now in Canada(Montreal) under a closed WP with a valid LMIA(Started the job 3 months ago so no CEC for me).
I have received a job offer letter when I signed my contract for the Work Permit but there is no mention of potentially hiring me when I become Permanant.

Just a regular job offer letter with salary, hours, etc.

The issue I have here is I can't add the job to my EE profile because I still don't understand what a valid job offer is. I have received so many
contradictory answers that I honestly don't know who is right.

My score without the Job offer is 495. With the job, it is 445. I have a good chance with 445 but honestly with 495, I am not sure.

 

[Ultraxion]

A valid job offer must be valid for at least one more year after they issue you your PR. Considering EE takes on average 6 months to process, I'd say a 2-year job offer would be relatively safe. Also it cannot be the same job offer you used to apply for your work permit.

My score without the Job offer is 495. With the job, it is 445. I have a good chance with 445 but honestly with 495, I am not sure.

I am so confused lol.. Anyway there is a big chance that IRCC will clear 500+ this year, 495 maybe 50-50 (I have exactly the same score as you do, but I am FSW-O). Being inland is a huge plus in post-pandemic situation.

Federal Skilled Workers and Canadian Experience Class
A valid job offer has to be:

• made by one employer
• continuous
• paid
• full-time (at least 30 hours a week)
• not seasonal
• for at least one year after we issue your permanent resident visa
• in a job that is NOC:
  • Skill Type 0 or
  • Skill Levels A or B

It also must be made :

• by an employer with a new positive LMIA that approves the offer and names you and your position OR
• if you’re currently working in Canada in a NOC 0, A or B job on a work permit that was issued based on an LMIA, and:
  • you’re working for an employer listed on your work permit
  • you’re authorized to work in Canada on the day you apply for a permanent resident visa, and when the visa is issued
  • your current employer made you an offer to give you a full-time job for at least one year if you’re accepted as a permanent resident OR
• if you have a valid work permit for a NOC 0, A or B job that is exempt from needing an LMIA, and you:
  • are currently working for an employer specified on the work permit
  • have one year of full-time work experience (or an equal amount of part-time work) for that employer
  • have a valid job offer from that employer for at least one year after we issue your permanent resident visa

Federal Skilled Trades workers
A valid job offer has to be:

• made by up to two employers
• for continuous, paid, full-time work (at least 30 hours a week)
• for at least one year
• in a skilled trade occupation (jobs with 2016 NOC codes that start with 72, 73, 82, 92 as well as 632 and 633)

It also must be made:

• by employer(s) who have a new positive LMIA that approves the offer and names you and your position OR
• ifyou’re currently working in Canada in a skilled trade job a work permit that was issued based on a positive LMIA, and:
  • you’re working for an employer listed on your work permit
  • you’re authorized to work in Canada on the day you apply for a permanent resident visa and when the visa is issued
  • your current employer(s) offered you a full-time job if you’re accepted as a permanent resident, in a job that is in the same three digit level of the NOC as your current job, for at least one year OR
• you have a valid work permit for one of the listed skilled trade occupation and it’s exempt from needing an LMIA, and you:
  • are currently working for an employer specified on the work permit
  • have one year of full-time work experience (or an equal amount of part-time work) for the employer(s) on your work permit who is making the offer and
  • have a valid job offer from that employer for at least one year after we issue your permanent resident visa

Examples of a valid and non-valid job offer
In both examples, the LMIA supports the job offer as set out above, or is exempt from needing an LMIA.
Example 1
Two companies hire a heavy equipment operator. The LMIA lists both. Each employer is offering 16 hours of work per week for a minimum of one year.
This job offer is valid.
Example 2
A construction company offers a plumber a position for 25 hours per week. It’s on a non-contract basis.
This job offer isn’t valid. A job must be for at least 30 hours a week to be full -time.
Jobs exempt from needing an LMIA
There are only two reasons the employer making you the offer doesn’t need to get a new LMIA:

1. if you’re already working for them with a work permit based on that LMIA
2. if you work in a job that doesn’t need an LMIA

Find out more about jobs that are exempt.
Your employer must get a new LMIA if:

• your work permit has expired
• you’re working on an open work permit
• you have a job offer from an employer not listed on your work permit

Can you do the job?
Our officers must be convinced that you will:

• be capable of doing the work you’re offered
• likely qualify to be licensed or certified by the relevant regulatory body once you’re in Canada ( if the job is regulated in Canada)

Provinces and territories are responsible for designating professions and trades in their jurisdiction. Designation and certification requirements vary by province. Get more information on licensing and regulatory requirements for specific professions or contact the relevant body in the province/territory where you plan to live.

My score without the Job offer is 495. With the job, it is 445. I have a good chance with 445 but honestly with 495, I am not sure.

You meant 545?

Thanks. Can you please explain the bold red part?
Does it mean, the job offer letter must explicitly mention that they will keep me when I receive a permanant residence?

My work permit will be valid for two years but my work permit's job offer letter doesn't mention PR at any point. Just a trial period for 9 months, with salary, etc.

You meant 545?

Yes 545.

I don't know what document to ask from the employer. Should they issue a new job offer? It's kinda odd that my employer has to make a "new" job offer for someone already working with them.

Yes 545.

Can you please explain the bold red part? means it should cover one year after you become PR, should be employed with that work permit when you are a permanent resident

Does it mean, the job offer letter must explicitly mention that they will keep me when I receive a permanant residence? NO

I dunno about work permits of canada. i simply make quick response posts to queries especially for users who are in urgent.

You need to show intent to reside outside Quebec if you apply through express entry. Keep that in mind.

I'd wait until more experienced people weigh-in but my two cents is as follows, I am assuming your employer's legal team knows about the 1 year requirement. I would get another job offer, especially if it were done through LMIA, that specifically mentions that they'll have you on for at least one year after PR, I have seen a lot of people getting rejecting because their job offer letters didn't specifically mention this fact. But kim I'm not sure about the legality of such actions, so please wait for more people to weigh-in.
