Or, do you have to work for a certain amount of time first before you can apply for PR?
I assume the only way to apply for a skilled worker PR is through Express Entry, right?
Thanks in advance!
No. Eligibility for PR and LMIA approved job offer are two different things. You need to first check for your Eligibility under following 3 programs:
Federal Skilled Worker Program,
Canadian Experience Class, and
Federal Skilled Trades Program.
You need to be eligible under at-least 1 of these programs before you can claim the 600 additional points from LMIA approved job offer.
