Panning for Canada Immigration with a job offer?

A valid job offer from a Canadian employer makes Canadian immigration all the more easier. The country offers various immigration pathways that invite skilled workers to work and settle in Canada. The Express Entry program is the simplest and most accessible pathway.

 

Some of the immigration pathways allow candidates to migrate with job offers. They are :

 

Express Entry System

The Express Entry program is a points-based system that assesses candidates based on factors such as age, education, language proficiency, Canadian work experience, arranged employment, and adaptability.  

 

The Express Entry system manages the following three immigration programs:

 

• Federal Skilled Worker Program
• Federal Skilled Trades Program
• Canadian Experience Class

 

Points for having a job offer under Express Entry

A job offer will be considered valid for the above-mentioned programs only if it is supported by the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). Your CRS score for a Canadian job offer is determined by the NOC code offered for your job role.

 

The maximum points based on the candidate’s NOC TEER category is mentioned below:

NOC TEER	Maximum CRS points
TEER category 0,1,2 or 3	50 points
Codes beginning with 00	200 points

 

Note: Job offers with an open work permit are not considered valid by the Express Entry program.

Labour Market Impact Assessment

Canada's Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document used by a Canadian employer to hire a foreign worker in Canada. Job offers recognized by the LMIA are considered valid for Express Entry and Canadian immigration pathways. The LMIA is one of the required documents to obtain a Canada Work permit. If eligible, you can also apply for Canada PR  with a LMIA approved job offer.

 

Provincial Nominee Program

Various provinces in Canada hold provincial nominee programs to attract skilled immigrants to Canada. The Canada PNP is another excellent pathway to migrate to Canada with a job offer. An eligible job offer approved by the LMIA can increase your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) from the IRCC.
