Express entry gives additional 50 points for a valid job offer in Canada.
But Can someone clarify if that job offer has to be in the same exact NOC code (0731-Managers in Transportation) of my express entry application?
Or can it be a one step lower NOC code or any job offer with similar duties to my primary NOC code?
Please advise forum members.
Thanks

Job offer with LMIA NOC 0, A & B - 50 points
Job offer with LMIA NOC C & D - 0 point Offer of employment – Skilled immigrants (Express Entry)
If you have a new job offer (offer of arranged employment), you need to update your Express Entry profile in your account with the :
start date
employer name and address
Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) number (if you have one)
You can’t use the same job offer letter that you used to get your work permit.
be in writing
not be from an embassy, high commission or consulate in Canada
set out details of the job they’re offering you, such as
your pay and deductions
your job duties
conditions of employment, like your hours of work
A work permit on its own is not a job offer, even if it is an open work permit.
Your job offer must also meet other criteria to be valid under the Express Entry program you qualify for below.
Federal Skilled Workers and Canadian Experience Class
A valid job offer has to be:
made by one employer
continuous
paid
full-time (at least 30 hours a week)
not seasonal
for at least one year after we issue your permanent resident visa
in a job that is NOC:
Skill Type 0 or
Skill Levels A or B
It also must be made :
by an employer with a new positive LMIA that approves the offer and names you and your position OR
if you’re currently working in Canada in a NOC 0, A or B job on a work permit that was issued based on an LMIA, and:
you’re working for an employer listed on your work permit
you’re authorized to work in Canada on the day you apply for a permanent resident visa, and when the visa is issued
your current employer made you an offer to give you a full-time job for at least one year if you’re accepted as a permanent resident OR
are currently working for an employer specified on the work permit
have one year of full-time work experience (or an equal amount of part-time work) for that employer
have a valid job offer from that employer for at least one year after we issue your permanent resident visa
Federal Skilled Trades workers
A valid job offer has to be:
made by up to two employers
for continuous, paid, full-time work (at least 30 hours a week)
for at least one year
in a skilled trade occupation (jobs with 2016 NOC codes that start with 72, 73, 82, 92 as well as 632 and 633)
It also must be made:
by employer(s) who have a new positive LMIA that approves the offer and names you and your position OR
ifyou’re currently working in Canada in a skilled trade job a work permit that was issued based on a positive LMIA, and:
you’re working for an employer listed on your work permit
you’re authorized to work in Canada on the day you apply for a permanent resident visa and when the visa is issued
your current employer(s) offered you a full-time job if you’re accepted as a permanent resident, in a job that is in the same three digit level of the NOC as your current job, for at least one year OR
are currently working for an employer specified on the work permit
have one year of full-time work experience (or an equal amount of part-time work) for the employer(s) on your work permit who is making the offer and
have a valid job offer from that employer for at least one year after we issue your permanent resident visa
Examples of a valid and non-valid job offer
In both examples, the LMIA supports the job offer as set out above, or is exempt from needing an LMIA. Example 1
Two companies hire a heavy equipment operator. The LMIA lists both. Each employer is offering 16 hours of work per week for a minimum of one year.
This job offer is valid. Example 2
A construction company offers a plumber a position for 25 hours per week. It’s on a non-contract basis.
This job offer isn’t valid. A job must be for at least 30 hours a week to be full -time.
Jobs exempt from needing an LMIA
There are only two reasons the employer making you the offer doesn’t need to get a new LMIA:
if you’re already working for them with a work permit based on that LMIA
Hi. Could anyone help me in my case.
I have LMIA based job offer which I used for work permit application. I currently work in Canada for one year. Can I still claim 50 points in Express Entry system for the job offer or should I ask for new job offer for my employer?
