Are you trying to claim the 50 points for 'Arranged Employment'? Is your occupation LMIA exempt?
LMIA

Yes my occupation is LMIA exempt, i have been working in Rogers communication as tech support representative and my work permit is expiring in August 2020. One of my friend is working as gas station manager and his employer is ready to provide LMIA to me for Gas station manger role. He has pre approved LMIA from government and he has also posted an ad on job bank
But are you qualified or have any experience that can be assessed against the job offer?
If you have the relevant work experience then yes, you can take the new offer and apply for a new WP.
So what happens if we are on Intra Company Transfer Closed Work Permit with a valid job offer which is LMIA exempt. Can we claim the 50 points right away or do we need to work for a minimum 1 year? Also what documents are required as proof ?
I am not getting the 50 points for the valid job offer in my Express Entry profile though I am currently working in Canada on LMIA exempt work permit for 7 months now. Any idea why the points are not reflected?
Which means that even if I was working with the same employer in a different country for more than 1 year, what counts is that we need to be working in Canada on Work Permit for One full year in order to claim the 50 points as job offer ?
You need to work for at least 1 year for the employer specified on your WP. The same employer in a different country would be subjected to that country's work permits and authorizations. It has nothing to do with Canadian WPs. To get the 50 points, you need to be working for the employer in Canada on a valid Canadian WP.
No, you won’t get the points. I had open work permit, and job offer. I needed an LMIA dual intent to get it.
There are three types of LMIA.
1] to sponsor someone in Expree Entry.
It’s free of charge. Can not be used to get work permit.
2] to get a work permit for a foreign individual.
Costs the employer $1000 to apply.
3] dual intent is both of the above in one.
Same process. Costs the employer $1000 to apply.
in regards to lmia exempt jobs, employer must pay the employer compliance fee of (not the same as for LMIA). All information is online. Use the search function here and on Canada.ca
