Yes, it is mandatory that you work for your employer in Canada for a year first to claim the 50 points. This assumes you are on a closed work permit with your employer named and not something like a PGWP.

yes it is a closed work permit with the employer not PGWP
isn't it come under below category.Because i cannot see the 1 year requirement in there.

You must meet all of the following conditions:

  • You have a valid work permit or are allowed to work in Canada without a work permit.
  • You’re currently working in Canada in a job that is exempt from a LMIA, but it is not under an international, federal-provincial agreement or because of significant benefit to Canadian interests.
  • An employer other than the one you are currently working for:
    • has a LMIA
    • has made you a valid job offer based on that LMIA and on you being accepted as a skilled worker.

I don't know where you've taken this from so I can't comment.

Regardless, if you are LMIA exempt,, you need to work for the year before you can claim the 50 points.

How do you meet all the conditions especially bullet 3?
