No - this won't be considered as a job offer for CRS. Your employer needs to obtain an approved LMIA for this to be classified as a job offer and get the 50 points.Good evening guys,
I just would like to ask some help. I just got a job under NOC A. If I will work here for 1 straight year full time and apply for FSWP, will my job offer be considered even without LMIA? Will I get a 50 score for the CRS? Thank you
100% wrong. The work experience you gather under PGWP totally counts as hourly work experience towards the CEC.As far as I am aware a job under PGWP is not considered experience, but someone more experience may say different.
Is he not talking about CRS points?100% wrong. The work experience you gather under PGWP totally counts as hourly work experience towards the CEC.
Hi Scylla, Thanks for the reply. However, I saw this site and read. This is the reason I ask for this because I wasn't really sure. Can you somehow enlighten me about this please. Coz currently I have a PGWP and I believe it's considered as Work permit exempted from needing an LMIA.No - this won't be considered as a job offer for CRS.

You have an open work permit, your employer is not stated in your work permit.Hi Scylla, Thanks for the reply. However, I saw this site and read.

FSWP and CEC
if you have a valid work permit for a NOC 0, A or B job that is exempt from needing an LMIA, and you:
FSWP
- are currently working for an employer specified on the work permit
- have one year of full-time work experience (or an equal amount of part-time work) for that employer
- have a valid job offer from that employer for at least one year after we issue your permanent resident visa
you have a valid work permit for one of the listed skilled trade occupation and it’s exempt from needing an LMIA, and you:
- are currently working for an employer specified on the work permit
- have one year of full-time work experience (or an equal amount of part-time work) for the employer(s) on your work permit who is making the offer and
- have a valid job offer from that employer for at least one year after we issue your permanent resident visa
It's not classified as a job offer for the purposes of Express Entry Yes - you are LMIA exempt - however this doesn't mean you qualify for the 50 job offer points. Different rules apply. Again - you need an LMIA to get the 50 points.Hi Scylla, Thanks for the reply. However, I saw this site and read. This is the reason I ask for this because I wasn't really sure.
