Hello.
I am running into a couple of questions when building my Express Entry (EE) profile. Can anyone please provide some insights about my questions?
Q1. Since I am working on a Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP), basically an open work permit, my employer did not mention anything related to LMIA to me. However, the express entry profile questions seem to assume that I am working for a specific employer. So does anyone know if I need to ask my employer to get a LMIA? And can anyone see if my answers to the following questions are correct?
Q2. Is my current job considered as a job offer when applying for EE?
Q3. My job title is Statistical Data Analyst. So should I use 2161 (Mathematicians, statisticians and actuaries), 2172 (Database analysts and data administrators), or 1254 (Statistical officers and related research support occupations) as my job NOC?
Q4. According to this page, post-graduate work is LMIA exempted, but I am not sure if my job is also LMIA exempted? So for the following question, did I make the right selection?
Thank you so much in advance!
