CRS Points Calculation

[darpan07]

Hi,

I am calculating my points on CRS tool - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

I am having confusion with what to answer in one of the questions. I am currently on a work permit and have a full-time job for about a year with NOC code A. I came as an international student.

Question in tool is:
"
8) Do you have a valid job offer supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (if needed)?

A valid job offer must be

• full-time
• in a skilled job listed as Skill Type 0, or Skill Level A or B in the 2011 National Occupational Classification
• supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or exempt from needing one
• for one year from the time you become a permanent resident

A job offer isn’t valid if your employer is:

• an embassy, high commission or consulate in Canada or
• on the list of ineligible employers.

Whether an offer is valid or not also depends on different factors, depending on your case. See a full list of criteria for valid job offers."

My answer should be "Yes" to this question as I am having a full-time job?

For the answer to be yes, your employer should have applied for LMIA for you. If not the answer should be No.
