Falsely Claimed Valid Job Offer

[GaganDesi]

I have enough CRS points without extra LMIA points while getting invited. But I claimed I had valid job offer while submitting my application. Does this matter?

I did the same thing, because I am already working in Canada, I assumed it was a Job offer and therefore put down I had a 'job offer'.

After looking on this forum and conducting some of my own research , if you did not receive points for 'arranged employment' on your ITA letter... then you are fine, because they did not account for this. Meaning they did not give you CRS points for your job offer, so without this you already met the points requirement for this draw.

I will and recommend that you write a LOE and just explain that you put down you had a job offer (mistake) this isn't the case and that you still meet this draws threshold without LMIA points.

What was your reason for putting you had a job offer?

Write a proper LOE how u made a mistake..... I will let some other member shed some light regarding the risk of misrepresentation

You don't have to put LMIA number if you don't have one...

In my case, I thought because I am working already and will continue to work, it counted as a Job Offer. It then goes on to ask you questions about this job...LMIA number, work permit details (Open or closed) etc. I was truthful in each answer and did not receive points for 'arranged employment' in my ITA, which would be the 'job offer.' Therefore, if the case is anything like mine, I agree write a LOE with extensive reasons as to why you got it wrong or accidentally 'misrepresented' yourself.

Scary thought that our future is in the hands of an Immigration officer whom doesn't know much about us!

Thanks for clarifying
Good luck!!!

Canadacanada17 I have done the same thing and said I have a valid job offer because I have a 2year contract if this not considered a valid job offer, I am already here and working. If this is not true, what did you write in your LOE?

This is so stressful, I would hate to think that I was misrepresenting myself but I honestly thought this to be true.

No problem! I've been on here all weekend trying to find answers... but if you look at your ITA letter, it pretty much tells you in the table what you received points for. One can only assume that if you did not receive points for arranged employment (Job offer) they are not taking it into consideration. JUST MAKE SURE YOU WRITE THAT LOE!

Good luck to you to!

I suspect many of us have! - If you are already working and will continue after this process, surely thats a job offer right?!
Check your ITA and see if you received points for this 'job offer'... if not write your LOE and explain exactly what you just said above.
I haven't written mine yet, but I plan to just say why I thought it was a valid job offer because I am currently working within Canada and will continue to work (I will also upload offer letter) after this process, also that this was an accident on my part and it does not affect my CRS scoring... I am still above the threshold for this cycle.

Basically, everything you can think of.... INCLUDE!

I didnt get any points for arranged employment, is that the section that would offer points if I had them?

Why you did that?

I got a new job right after I got invited, so I thought "valid job offer" means the offer I am holding. BTW, did your application got approved?
