Looks like candidates who have gained work permit by using positive LMIA need not get a positive LMIA again for EE.
Is it so?

If recruiting from within Canada
If you have a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment for an employee holding a temporary work permit to whom you wish to extend a permanent job offer, the LMIA may still be valid under Express Entry. However, if the position or person was previously exempt from an LMIA, then a new LMIA will be required under Express Entry.

We would apply for PR thru CEC in NOV 2015. I hope LMIA which we gained in Jul 2014 should hold good.
