Lmia for pr

[sani014]

I dont know if this is the right section to post but I want to know the answer to one question.
If an employer is willing to do LMIA and you get positive LMIA but you dont have 1 year of experience will it still count for 600 points?
Is there any other options it will be counted if not for CEC?
Or do you need 1 year of experience before they count 600 points for LMIA?
Please help

Does your first question make sense to you? Why would they count 1 year of experience when you don't have it?
And yes there are more options once you get your LMIA. Look into skilled worker stream or PNP (provincial nominee programmes)

You don't need 1 year of experience before they count your LMIA points. These are two separate factors that will complement each other, but they work by their own just fine.

Best of luck,

I didnt mean the work experience.I meant the LMIA.
So if i try to create a express entry profile after positive LMIA, will i get 600 points for LMIA?

You'll get 600 points but you won't qualify for FSW / Express Entry since you don't have one year of work experience.

Yes considering you have a valid job offer it will gain you 600 points.

Sadly, you are probably right. First, you must be eligible for CEC or FSW, and you can apply under EE. Second, the order that CIC choose from the pool is "highest score first serve" instead of "first come first serve". So LMIA would help you greatly on the second step, but you have to meet the requirements of the first step first.

EE is a method to choose applicants, not the requirement of eligibility.

after positive LMIA, will i get 600 points for LMIA?

Not necessarily. The 600 pts is for a "valid job offer," which requires 2 things - the LMIA, and a WRITTEN offer of permanent, non-seasonal, PERMANENT employment. (Many people get LMIAs for term-limited (contract) employment).

LOL - 600 pts for LMIA+permanent job offer. But since you don't qualify, there will be no points.
