Hello Friends,

I need some guidance in these below questions. Please help me because I am very confused. The questions are as below:-

1. I have a pgwp. I want to know that under CEC Is it mandatory to mention "Continuous" and "Will be employed for atleast 1 year after receiving PR" in Letter of Employment. Although, I have mentioned that my job is full time and showed minimum 30 hrs per week.

2. In my previous application study and work permit I showed that I was a receptionist in the hotel in my foreign work experience. Now I am showing as front office manager in my PR Application. The reason is in my country receptionist/ administrator/ manager is the same thing in hotel.

Will it be any issue? Please guide

1) There is no "continuity requirement" for CEC.
2) It is not mandatory to have a valid job offer to qualify for CEC, so this is not required in the letter of empoyment.
3) n the other hand, if you wanted to claim points for having a valid job offer, you would need a separate job offer letter with those words. However, since you are on a PGWP, you would need an LMIA as well.

If it is noticed, it may cause questions. Note that job title is not the determining factor in assessing the skilled work position, it is mainly about the job duties and responsibilities in the letter of employment.
 
Just to clear letter of employment is different than job offer letter. If you are on PGWP then you need LMIA

No, I don't have LMIA

You cannot claim job offer points in that case. Your employer needs to obtain an approved LMIA in order for you to claim 50 points for having a job offer.
 
Hi Guys,

Under CEC as far as I searched you just atleast 1 year experience. I am on an open work permit not a specific employer permit (closed permit). Do I still need LMIA?

If you are claiming points for job offer then YES. You will need LMIA

To get the work experience points for having a year of work experience in Canada, no LMIA is required.

If you want the 50 points for having a valid job offer, then you need the approved LMIA.

As I understand from the replies i need LMIA If my employer is supporting me and then I can add in my employment letter the word *Continuous* and *Will be employed for 1 year after getting PR*

Is it correct?

But if I am employing without LMIA do I still need to mention these two key points in my job letter.

Then you cant use job offer and claim points. It's simple as that
 
But instead *job offer* can I claim 1 year experience under CEC in a normal letter of Employment?

Yes you can claim the 1 year experience points that's a different thing. But the additional 50 points for letter of employment that you cant
