Hi everyone,

If I worked 1 year full time and still ongoing with a PGWP do I earn points under EE programs?

My understanding is PGWP is exempt from LMIA so I wouldn't need LMIA to get the points, is that correct?

and I end up in my application with Not Applicable for Valid Job Offer

Any help is appreciated

You will get work experience points but not job offer points.

If you want the 50 job offer points, your employer needs to get an approved LMIA.

I see. Thank you.

Is there a limit on how long ago I graduated from a Canadian university for it to count towards Canadian Education in EE?
