Yes.
If you want to claim the 50 job offer points under Express Entry, your employer must obtain an approved LMIA.
This is because you are on an open work permit with no employer named.
If you have enough points to be selected through Express Entry directly, then you're all set. You would want to have 470+ points to be in good shape for this. How many points do you have?
I have 428 points without LMIA. My employer agree to give me LMIA. But they are confused about the process.
In Section 9 in the LMIA form, it says,
1. Permanent residence Application ( this means you will hire the temporary foreign worker only after their immigration application is processed and the permanent residency is approved) , which does not need any fee.
2. Work permit application and permanent resident application ( this means you will hire the foreign national as a temporary foreign worker before or while their permanent residence application being processed) which needs employer to pay $ 1000.
I am already working for this employer for 8 months as a Bookkeeper position as I have a Post Graduate Work permit.. In that case, which option need to choose to my employer?

Your employer can select #1 to avoid the fee. They will still need to advertise the job for at least one month to prove no Canadian could be found for the role before they can apply for the LMIA. Make sure they read the advertising requirements in detail. They will need to advertise in three different locations and make sure they pick options that meet the LMIA advertising criteria. You also want to make sure you're being paid at least the median wage for your NOC and location.
They need to advertise again if you want to move ahead with the LMIA. Advertising through Indeed alone is not sufficient. Also, the advertisement they placed to hire you is too old to be used in the LMIA application.
Yes, you can select two or more degrees for CRS.
In terms of other provinces, you'll need to research that. I would focus on increasing your score since it will likely be difficult to be selected without a job offer in that province.
Improving your language score is the easiest way. Everything else is generally much harder. I would recommend that you focus on your language score.
I have claimed job offer points (LMIA ). AOR 9 Oct. Med and Bil Passed. CEC category. In which step I can be sure if the job offer is accepted?
