OINP needs LMIA

[nmpatel21]

Hello,
While referring, Application guide for International Student with Job Offer stream, OINP, at 4.2.14 it says that OINP needs positive LMIA. What is this LMIA? Is this the one, for which cic give 50 or 200 points?

Thank you in advance.

LMIA is not required, if you are nominated by the province. But your employer have to pay Compliance fee for the LMIA exempt, which costs $230.

You need to collect the receipt from the employer for work permit submission.

Thanks!

Hello,
Thank you for your replay and I am on post-graduation work permit. Do My employer still need to pay that fee?

Thank you

PGWP is a one time work permit and cannot be extended. But, if you have a PNP, your employer has to pay for LMIA exempt fee before you apply for extending Work permit.

If you don't have a PNP, you need a LMIA to extend your permit as worker.

Hope this helps,

Thanks!

Hello,
Sorry sir, but we are having a small misunderstanding here. I am currently on Post Grad work permit with 1.5 year remaining time. and also I don't have PNP. I am applying for OINP under International student with Job offer stream. I got my answer in your first answer but then you said that my employer have to pay Compliance fee for the LMIA exempt and i am confused in that. After you said that I checked on cic for exemption rules and PG work permit comes under the exemption. So just to be clear, I dont need LMIA and also no need to pay 230$ fee by my employer as I am applying for new OINP, not any work permit. Am I right?

Thank you.

Under int student w job offer stream, you DO NOT need an LMIA.

For ur knowledge, yes, the LMIA they mentioned is also the one that will give u 50 pts in EE

Does this still apply? No LMIA required to apply for the intl student stream?

You need a job offer and meet their education requirement, which have changed. So if you have a degree or masters and did a PG diploma at college where a diploma and/or degree are required admission, you are not eligible.

You must have received from an eligible Canadian institution:

• a degree or diploma that takes at least two years to complete if you study on a full-time basis, or
• a degree, diploma or certificate that takes at least one year to complete if you study on a full-time basis and that requires a completed degree as an admission requirement

This means that in order to be eligible, your one-year program must require a completed degree as an admission requirement. One-year programs are ineligible if they require a degree or a diploma, or “a degree or work experience”, or similar, regardless of whether you personally completed a degree program prior to being accepted into the one-year program

This was a bit confusing at first but I understand now. So as long as it's ONLY a degree as a requirement for the one-year program, you're eligible. Not a degree OR anything else.

Thanks!

Yup so college PG programs would be ineligible.

There are PG programs that require only a bachelor's. Mine was a 1 year PGcert course at Humber College but the requirements for the program was a bachelor's degree and only that.

Then you are eligible.

And to confirm, no LMIA needed for a job offer while on PGWP with regard to the international student stream?

No but the employer & job has to meet the requirements. All on the website.
