ICT visa to C20 visa [Big PR Doubt]

[Rahul024]

Hello Everyone,

I am an inland candidate currently on ICT visa working for company 'A'. Company 'B' is willing to sponsor my visa to enable me to join them (they are applying for Reciprocal employment (C20) visa for me ). My doubt is:

I have applied for the Express entry using the Job offer letter & experience letter of company 'A'. If i switch to company 'B' will it cause any issues with my future PR application?

Regards

No issues provided you didn't claim the 50 points for having a job offer.

Hi Scylla,

I actually claimed 50 points for Job offer. Can I use the Job offer letter from Company B?

Are they obtaining an approved LMIA in order for you to qualify for the new work permit or is it an LMIA exempt role?

Very good point. Currently I am LMIA exempt not sure if work permit from Company B is going to be the same. Is there any negatives because of that?

Thanks

Yes, potentially.

If your new job is LMIA exempt, you cannot count this as a job offer for the 50 job offer points until you have worked for your new employer for a full year. If that's the case, you are at risk for IRCC saying you no longer qualify for the 50 job offer points.

That means if i switch to company 'B' and if work permit is LMIA exempt; i cannot claim Job offer points until i complete 1 year in Canada with company 'B'?

Is my understanding correct?
