Job Offer Letter Requirement under CEC

[kv2625]

Hi All,

I'm currently on a LMIA-exempt work permit with an employer that plans to continue employing me. I have a transfer of employment offer letter from them that was given to me for the purposes of applying for a work-permit last year. Upon the completion of 1 year working in Canada, I am choosing to apply for the PR under CEC. I marked "Yes" for the question about having a job offer (+50 points). I transferred from the US with my current employer. I understand that there is a clear distinction between an employment verification letter and a job offer letter.

It is confusing because IRCC says it has to be “new job offer” & “cannot use same offer letter which used to get the work permit”

Two questions:
1. I am wondering if I can even claim 50 points for “arranged employment”/“job offer letter”?
2. If so, does anyone have any experience/sample letters for a job offer that I can send to my employer for drafting a letter for me?

1. Yes, you can claim the 50 points for arranged employment post 1 year completion in Canada with the same employer and on the same work permit.
2. But you will need a new letter (it can be a reference letter, or a job offer letter) from your employer stating that they will "continue to employ you for at leaast 1 year after you get your PR".
There is no set format as such, but it has to be from the employer on company letter head with the manager/HR's sign and contact details and the above line.
