Does offer letter should be from same industry?

[Sali947]

Hi
I have worked as a kindergarten teacher for 4 years. Based on Immigration website, my work fall into "category A" and I would get points for that. My question is regarding getting the "arranged employment" in Canada. If I get a offer letter from a Canadian company, does it need to be related to my previous profession(teaching)? If I get offer letter from any other industry, would I still get points for "offer letter"?

Yes, the offer can be from another industry.

And I would like to clarify that this offer does not mean just the offer letter. Normally, you need a LMIA along with the offer letter to be considered as arranged employment.
You can see the details of the job offer definition:

If job offer is cross industry, the CIC are more likely to have questions when you apply for LMIA. As long as you can satisfy them, it should be okay.
