You have repeated this point twelfth time. Everybody accepts that to get 600 points, LMIA is required. And you do not need to have LMIA to apply. Do you even understand the argument that was going on here for last 4-5 pages? Argument is on a related plane but different tangent.curious_123 said:
It is not related to my degree, that is correct. However, I passed the eligibility assessment from my company with an exceptional high score which is why they decided to hire me anyway. How is my work being beneficial? I work for a large IT company here which is in demand of native speaking translators. I think I don't need to explain how the income of a company is affecting the economy of the country.Phil89 said:
Yes, you get only 100 points for a job without LMIA , and 600 with LMIA. But if you have a job when on PGWP in NOC 0,A,B- FORGET ABOUT LMIA. You will NEVER get it. HRDC will NEVER issue LMIA to a job in NOC 0 and A. (Better chances for welders and plumbers ( in NOC B) somewhere in Cold Lake, AB)because there are more than enough available Canadians for such a kind of jobs.
Good for you! But remember if you already received your nomination, it doesn't make you more special or better than anyone else. We all have Canadian degrees and jobs contributing to the economy.Marlee said:It is not related to my degree, that is correct.

In terms of my nursing degree: No worries. I have already done the assessment with the union and my degree has been accepted as equivalent. I will have to rewrite my exams but will then be allowed to work as a registered nurse. No more university for me luckily. Also, my application is already in progress and the old rules apply. I am not affected by the LMIA.
I neither said nor thought that. In my opinion everyone who is beneficial to this country's economy and is willing to fully integrate into the Canadian culture is more than welcome here.Phil89 said:
wow, you are taking all my hopes away bud, but to some extent you are right, 2 different employers told me: "we are not sponsoring anyone for any immigration program"... do you think this is true for Civil Engineers with USA experience and in process of obtaining member in training nomination from Alberta?

Where did people got you wrong? God, my guess is people have no reading skills whatsoever, you have been nothing but polite and personal in your posts. Thank you for keeping your composure....Marlee said:
I really do not know.
The thing is that we are so caught up on that 600 score. This is just a provision for Companies that really need someone and aren't able to find them. So that 600 points will give them a guarantee spot for PR. Most of the CEC and FSW will have identical scores. If you look at it closely, if you have Canadian experience u get bonus points. You also get points for experience. So if you are in Canada and have worked for 3 years. You have a benefit over those who have worked for 3 years outside, always. In a scenario where the person has a LOT more experience then his age is more and he will drastically start losing points as the older they are.omaus25 said:
Yes, your chances are 0. There are enough engineers who are looking for work and hoping to get LMIA INSIDE Canada. No one would even bother going through this bureaucratic process just to get someone they have never even seen into Canada. Unless you are some sort of a genius which I figure is not your case..omaus25 said:
It does not matter : inside or outside. The process with HRDC is the same in both cases. And the MAIN REASON why it is impossible to get LMIA for occupations in NOC 0 and A (better chances in B) is because there is a lot of citizens and PR who are engineers and want that job.
