Hi canadavisa forum!

As we all know we can gain additional points for a job offer. Does it have to be a current job offer or a new one? For example I apply to Express Entry and my current work permit is valid for 5 month more, can I use it or I have to ask my employer for a new one?

What kind of work permit do you have? How long have you worked for your employer?

You can get a valid job offer with LMIA OR with a LMIA exempt permit which is employer specific (closed work permit) by working for your employer for a year (assuming full-time work experience).

A work permit is not a valid job offer. You can read what a valid job offer is here - it is not the same thing as having a job in Canada.

or I have to ask my employer for a new one?

If you are on an open work permit, your employer would need to apply for an LMIA for you to become eligible.

hi eveyone, if i have worked for the employer for over a year but in a different job position from the actual one (but still the same employer) does it count?
