Hello Experts,
I find myself in a situation where I need some expert clarification, and hoping that someone has been through this path before and can help clarify and advise. My confusion is around whether an intercompany transfer job offer constitutes as a valid job offer, see the details below.
I have been working in Canada, as an intercompany transferee with the current employer, since last 2 years; and have seen my original offer, which was valid only for 6 months, revised twice. My current job offer was issued in April 2020 and is valid till Nov 22 which gives me about 23 months of employment from today’s date, give or take a few days. . The current job offer is the second revision.
These revisions have primarily served to extend the end dates of my position. And that reminds me I must mention that the job offers , at my current organization, categorize intercompany transferees as contractual employees thereby giving our job offers an end date, whereas a regular employees’ job offer doesn’t have any end date.
With the Job offer history clarified, time to get to Work Permit. So, on the lines of job offer revisions, my work permit was also extended twice, with the current one being 2nd extension and is valid through though July 22. That gives me 19 months from the date; I know there is a difference of about 4 months between the current job offer and current work permit, but that’s how it is. I must also mention that the current work permit was issued against the current job offer, to remove any room for confusion.
Now, coming to the question,
Given the above, does my current job offer, which is valid for another 23 months from now, qualify me to claim CRS points for job offer?
IRCC mentions that the job offer should be valid for one year after the PR is issued and not be the same offer as used for the current work permit. And it’s the second part that I am not very sure about. I have seen contrary details floating around where some believe that someone in my position qualifies while the link below seems to be not so comforting. So wondering if anyone has navigated these waters before.

If I can claim the job offer points, that will give my CRS Score a much-needed boost.
Hoping we have someone out there who can help clarify this.
