Hi,

I am on closed work permit with 2173 NOC and is valid till 2024. I am about to complete 1 year in Canada.

Am I eligible for 50 points?

Letter which I got from my employer says

My Name, position, salary, date of hire in Canada and employment status as Permanent Full Time

Will it be enough or do I need something else? Is there any sample which is used?

Please help!!

No , please read the ircc website of the job offer requirements here at - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/offer-employment.html

What you have is the letter of employment but not a valid job offer it seems

It also must be made :

All above conditions are met, according to you which one is not met as it is Full Time permanent position?


Do you have sample which can be used if I need to ask HR about it?

Question - what's valid till 2024? your current work permit? it also says "
  • You can’t use the same job offer letter that you used to get your work permit.
If you have a recent letter from the company which has all these conditions and it also states that you have this job offer for at least one year after IRCC issues a permanent residency visa then only it will be accepted and just permanent-full time wont work as there are many people who come here from a company on a full time status but they dont really have an indefinite job offer from the company which is what the IRCC wants

I am in the same situation, but does the employer need to apply for a new LMIA ? I have been working for my company for a year , and lmia is expired.

1.Is it enough to claim 50 points if I have the job offer from my current employer? ( the job offer that meets ircc requirements)
2. does my employer still have to get a new LMIA ?

Based on ircc website, we don't need new lmia?? We need only New job offer letter from employer??
  • if you’re currently working in Canada in a NOC 0, A or B job on a work permit that was issued based on an LMIA, and:
    • you’re working for an employer listed on your work permit
    • you’re authorized to work in Canada on the day you apply for a permanent resident visa, and when the visa is issued
    • your current employer made you an offer to give you a full-time job for at least one year if you’re accepted as a permanent resident OR

Hi, I'm working for an employer for almost 1 year under a PGWP I would like to know if I can get 50 points for a job offer if I get a closed work permit with them, can anyone give me guidance? I was thinking I can switch my role in the company for a LMIA-exempt job offer and that way get the 5o points, thank you in advance.
