Securing a valid job offer for Express Entry can significantly boost your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points and enhance your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian permanent residence. However, understanding the specific requirements for a legitimate employment offer under Express Entry can sometimes be unclear. Let's delve into the essential details and nuances of what qualifies as a genuine job offer for different categories under Express Entry.

Federal Skilled Worker Program and Canadian Experience Class

If you are applying under the Federal Skilled Worker program or the Canadian Experience Class, your job offer must meet these criteria:

1. Single Employer: The offer must come from one employer only.

2. Continuous and Paid: It should be a continuous, paid position.

3. Full-Time: The job must be full-time, requiring at least thirty hours of work per week.

4. Not Seasonal: It should not be a seasonal job.

5. Duration: The offer must be valid for at least 52 weeks (1 year) after you obtain your permanent residence visa.

6. Occupational Category: The job role should fall under NOC 0, A, or B (TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3) Skill Type.

Additionally, there are specific prerequisites:

- The employer must provide a new LMIA that confirms the offer in your name and position.

- Alternatively, you should have a valid LMIA-based work visa and be employed in a TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 role.

- Or, you must hold a valid LMIA-exempt work permit for a TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 job.

Federal Skilled Trades Stream

For those applying under the Federal Skilled Trades stream, the job offer requirements are slightly different:

1. Multiple Employers: A job offer can come from up to two employers.

2. Ongoing and Full-Time: The job should be ongoing, full-time (at least 30 hours per week), and paid.

3. Minimum Duration: The commitment must be for a minimum of one year in a skilled trade, as per specific NOC codes.

4. LMIA Requirement: Employers providing the offer must have a new, positive LMIA or recognize you as a skilled tradesperson with a work permit.

It's crucial to note that there are jobs for which an LMIA is not required, such as when you're already working for an employer on an LMIA-based work permit or when your job doesn't necessitate an LMIA.

When adding a new job offer to your Express Entry profile, ensure you update it promptly with detailed employer information, including the job-related NOC, start date, and other relevant details.

Your Express Entry job offer should be recent, written, and provide comprehensive information about the job, including duties, pay, working hours, and employment terms. Additionally, it should not originate from a Canadian high commission, embassy, or consulate. Understanding these nuances can help you navigate the process effectively and increase your chances of success in the Express Entry system.
