[tej27k]

Hi,


Hope you are doing good.

I would like to know for an IT professional what job offer is considered as a valid job offer while applying for express entry?
Do I need to be on a work permit to apply for express entry?
Do I need Canadian work experience for a job offer to be valid?

I read the article on the official site about the job offer but it was still not clear.

Can anybody please help me with this?

Any help would be appriciated.

You either need a job offer in Canada where the employer has obtained an approved LMIA.

Or if you are on an LMIA-exempt closed work permit, you need to work for your employer in Canada for a year first before you can claim the points.

If you are on an open work permit like a PGWP or a SOWP, then your employer needs to obtain an approved LMIA.
