Express Entry Job Offer Points

[Layimnida]

Hi! Please help me on my inquiry. I have express entry profile under CEC (i have 2yrs exp as food service supervisor here in canada). I am currently on visitor record because my work permit expired december 2014. Now I am waiting for LMIA from a new employer but its a low skilled job.

My question is, will I still get the additional 600 points on express entry even if the job offer is low skilled? Please help. Thanks a lot!

As per my knowledge, LMIA are issued based on low or high skilled jobs. Even if you have low skilled job, you should qualify to receive 600 points.

As per CIC documentation, it doesn't specify that you have to have certain type of LMIA for extra 600 points.

I'm currently working in Vancouver as a live in caregiver for my grand mother and planning to join the express entry but i don't know if I am qualified because in my LMO or LMIA live in caregiver is NOC C and I believe that it should be NOC A B or O right? I'm a registered nurse in the Philippines. Can you give me some advice if I can still continue my application.Thank you very much.. God Bless

I already have EE profile, my score is 290. I just want the additional 600 points for the arrange employment. So my new job offer should be NOC 0, a, b?

In order to receive the extra 600 points you will require an LMIA.

My employer had it already before i came to Canada on low skilled job. My work permit is still valid.

On your VISA it will state an LMIA or LMO (The old format of LMIA) number. If you have this you should enter it in your EE application. I am not sure how your employer can add this to your VISA if its not stated. Maybe someone else can help out on this issue.

I found the answer on my question. I still need the LMIA to support my job offer. The position in my job offer is not the one in my current work permit. Thanks
