Arranged Employment requirements

[legyptiano]

HI Everyone

I have been working for my current employer for the last 2 years under an open work permit (post graduate) . My work permit expired couple of months ago and I got a new one under Mobilité Francophone. My employer can give me a job offer ( they had to give me one for Mobilité Francophone). My question is am I eligible for the 50 CRS points? So should I update my EE profile with Yes under Arranged employment ?

Thanks for your help.

No as they would have to have been the named employer on your visa. Yours was open.

Well the new work permit that I got 2 month ago under Mobilite francophone has my employer named on it

Yes - Mobilité Francophone is one of the specifically identified programs that are LMIA-exempt and eligible under the revised definition of "valid job offer."

Your employer would have to be willing to provide you with another job offer letter - offering at least one year of employment after you obtain PR status.

Yes but you need to work for that employer for one year under that permit.

 

[jes_ON]

Yes but you need to work for that employer for one year under that permit.

Not sure about that, the requirement is that you "have been working full-time for the employer on your work permit for at least one year." Doesn't say it has to be one year on THAT permit.

 

[kryt0n]

Yes but you need to work for that employer for one year under that permit.

Yes, it does. The worker has to have worked for one year on a named permit. That was in the 19th changes

 

[DelPiero07]

Not sure about that, the requirement is that you "have been working full-time for the employer on your work permit for at least one year." Doesn't say it has to be one year on THAT permit.

Yes but the requirements also state:

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

Meaning he has to have both requirements - having a work permit exempt and working for that employer for one year.

Another person in the exact same situation tried unsuccessfully to claim those points. The system wouldn't update them.

 

[kryt0n]

"(iii) the foreign national holds a valid work permit issued under the circumstances described in paragraph 204(a) or (c) or section 205 of the Regulations, the offer is made by an employer who is specified on the work permit and the foreign national works for that employer and has accumulated at least one year of full-time work experience, or the equivalent in part-time work, over a continuous period of work for that employer;"

The OP has both requirements. Just on two different permits. I think s/he qualifies.

Erm, lots of people here think things... but it doesn't make it true. It's in black and white. They need a year experience on a named visa and then a job offer extending for at least a year to qualify for 50 points.

Agree to disagree then

Open work permits do not count towards those 50 points.

 

[legyptiano]

Thanks for the answers.

Based on that I think I qualify no?
you have a valid work permit for a NOC 0, A or B job that is exempt from needing an LMIA, and you: I do

are currently working for an employer specified on the work permit I do
have one year of full-time work experience (or an equal amount of part-time work) for that employer I do

Meaning he has to have both requirements - having a work permit exempt and working for that employer for one year. I beleive I do as I have an exempt work permit issued 2 month ago and I have been working for this employer for more than 1 year

Another person in the exact same situation tried unsuccessfully to claim those points. The system wouldn't update them.

But the work experience has to be under a permit with the employers name on it. Open work permits do not count.

I am happy to concede if you show me that statement. None of the quotes above say that.

Ministerial instructions:
"(iii) the foreign national holds a valid work permit issued under the circumstances described in paragraph 204(a) or (c) or section 205 of the Regulations, the offer is made by an employer who is specified on the work permit and the foreign national works for that employer and has accumulated at least one year of full-time work experience, or the equivalent in part-time work, over a continuous period of work for that employer;"

Does not say that the work experience has to be on a named work permit.

That would be like saying that someone with a PGWP who gets an LMIA has to work for another year with the LMIA before they become eligible. That is not the case.
