Valid Job Offer for Profile

[avsan30]

Hello Everyone,

I am looking for some help on my profile from some of the experienced members on this forum.

I graduated from University with a 3-Year Open Work Permit. I was employed in October 2018 but then I was transferred to a better position (both skilled) to a different company but it is owned by the same person who owns the first one.

I was transferred to the new company in February 2019 so in a way, I have not yet completed my 1 year with this employer in order to receive 50 Points for valid offer. I am not sure if the questions I have answered are correct as I have technically worked for the same employer for over a year now and will continue to do so, so i should be receiving the points? I am not sure if my answers are correct. Please advise!

Any help is greatly appreciated.

My answers are as following:

You should answer No to the first question
You don't have a valid job offer because you don't have a positive LMIA

Okay. That’s fair. what about the fact that I’ve worked for the company for less than a year but technically since it’s the same employer, is it something I could add in my Letter of Explanation? Or should I answer ‘No’ to that?

It doesn't matter how long you worked for the company. It's not a valid job offer.

But wait. that doesn’t make much sense. Apparently, IRCC agents confirmed that since it’s an Open Work Permit, I don’t need an LMIA as the permit will still be valid for another year and I’ll be working on that.

You holding an open permit doesn't make your job offer valid. You need LMIA in order to claim those points.

Interesting that I was told something else. Anyway, thank you!
