Hi,
I'm working for my current employer on PGWP work permit for roughly 11 months since employed.
I do have a permanent job offer and my occupation is classified as NOC B (2211).
The question is,
I'm really confused about the validity to get 50 extra points for job offer under Express Entry.
I thought no matter the circumstance, if the job offer is not supported by LMIA, it's all garbage.
However I found this statement in CIC.
Some jobs are exempt from needing an LMIA.
For Express Entry, your employer doesn’t need an LMIA if you:
So is PGWP under an international agreement, a federal-provincial agreement or the "Canadian interest" category?
I'd really do appreciate for any thoughts and comments!!
Personally it seems so unclear.

For Express Entry, your employer doesn’t need an LMIA if you:
- have been working full-time for the employer on your work permit for at least one year (or an equal amount of part-time work)
- have a valid job offer, and
- have a valid work permit that is exempt from an LMIA under
- an international agreement
- a federal-provincial agreement or
- the “Canadian interests” category
