I have 7+ years of experience which falls under NOC 2173. My Profile is there in EE with 376 points. I am trying for work permit (or LMIA) through job portals. My question is which is better option:- Work Permit or LMIA
a) Get work permit and go to Canada. Then after how many months I can claim 600 points? What if I get ITA within 1-2 months while I am on work permit in Canada?

b) Accept LMIA and update EE for additional 600 points and let the process of PR continue in the due course. The only problem I see in this option is that employer may not wait for me for 6 months as after ITA it takes min 6 months.

Anyone faced similar situation? any suggestions?
 
Your question doesn't make sense. You need an approved LMIA to get a work permit.
