Hello Zeus, Software engineer here, amazing resume. With the 57 week to get approval, is your company looking into remote first start? Some companies do that I know of. Im PMing you.

Zeus04:
For now, I'd say BA would be really hard to push for visa sponsorship because the talent are in abundance in Canada. When seeking to sponsor work permit for foreign nationals, the govt here really scrutinize the process and would only approve such WP when you can prove that the skillet is hard to find or cannot be found here. That's why it's relatively easier for core technical folks like developers, architect etc to get visa sponsorship.

It's a way to ensure people within Canada are employed.

I saw this on the TEF thread, and as it didn't have responses, decided to come here. These are clearly scammers, like everyone else has pointed out. If Job easy to get laidat, e don tey wen I for don enter, I for don even complete my 1 year in preparation for CEC. Cos even the legit jobs are not as sharp sharp as these ppl offered you They always take their time, and I later realized from a recruiter that they actually try to source ppl from inside and outside. Once an insider is found, even if na 1 month u don dey the process, they will send an "unfortunately" email.

My major concern, is that passport you sent to them, whether original or photocopy, they have all your passport details and I hope they don't start doing and undoing with it.

The Lord be with you as you shine ya eyes next time.

Hello gurus in the house,

Please I need your advice. I saw a sponsored ads on Facebook about Canada Jobs. It also captioned that the company will sponsor the visa. I picked the number and chatted on WhatsApp. I was asked to send my CV to their email and after 24hours, I was mailed that my qualifications met their requirements. I was offered job as a Drill Engineer for the Oil and gas company. I was later sent Temporary Residence Visa Form to fill as well as Labour Market Impact Assessment(LMIA) form and Job agreement letter(that have in it that I will be responsible for the biometrics fee while other cost till arrival will be handled by the company). I filled and signed where necessary and returned them with my International passport as requested.

After few days, I was mailed to send the LMIA , Visa Form and my International passport to the lagos embassy of Canada through the email they gave (lagos@vfsglobal.g-c.online, so as to book my biometrics. I did as instructed and after few hours, got a mail from the said lagos embassy mail that my documents have been reviewed and i should proceed to pay for my biometrics through the payment link supplied so I can be given date for the biometrics. The biometrics fee is $116 CAD and processing fee is $91 CAD, bringing total to $207 CAD which amounted to #66,549.89 or pay same into one CEDI SIGNAL ZENITH BANK account and send receipt to them.

I am confused as to being real or not which is the reason I seek your genuine and honest advice.

Thanks.

Ok, that explains the open work permit. So, you had an open WP as accompanying spouse to a student. However, you only get the job offer point if you got a positive LMIA for the job(some LMIA could actually be -ve), or if it's LMIA exempt. Not all job offers qualify for the bonus job points. So you may want to recheck on that so you know if to kuku try other options like PNP or CEC after 1 year of working. You know IRCC processing time is now very long. You won't want to be told by them after waiting a long time that they can't award you the extra points for job offer hence wont be awarding points. That alone may drop your scores bringing you back to square one. And from all I know about job offers, I don't think this meets that criteria.

In simple explanation, if a job was hard to fill, and they could not find an internal person to fill it, an outsider could be given that job, LMIA obtained for the permit (unless its exempt) after the employer has proven that he couldn't get an insider to fill the role, and the candidate can get points rewards for that(if the LMIA is positive).
In this scenario, you for instance are an example of the insider. Clear example, I've applied to several jobs from outside, proceed some steps and sometimes get feedback like "oh, they found an internal person to fill the role", ie, someone like you, who already have a work permit or a PR or Citizen. This saves them the stress of obtaining a positive LMIA.

Tuke360:
I came in with Spouse Open Work Permit by virtue of my spouse being an international student. And I have been able to land a permanent employment. Adding the job offer to my profile will boost my score. That's the reason I was asking.

Now that you say it, "open work permit" and employment offers that meets LMIA or LMIA exempt work offers, giving the extra points dont match.

If truly its an LMIA job offer (or LMIA exempt job), it would be a closed work permit to the employer, and only the applicants spouse gets an open work permit, which I don't think contibutes to points for job offer. Like you said, he should be certain the job offer meets the LMIA requirements as not all job offers do.

Pls read page 1 throughly, it will be a blessing to you this new year.

Statement in red: no, full details on page 1

Statement in green: For express entry arranged employment in NOC 0, A or B gives 50 extra CRS points (NOC 00 gives 200 extra points but NOC 00 is senior management). Pls be 100% sure that your job offer meets the criteria listed for EE by IRCC e.g. LMIA, different job offer letter from your work permit application etc. Read here, goodluck!
