Ensuring Digital Signature Legitimateness for Alternative Work Offer Letter in Canada

How to eSign a document: digital signature legitimateness for Alternative Work Offer Letter in Canada

today let's talk about job offers and how they are different for different processes well let's start with the with with the most common uh you are in Canada you're on an open work permit uh postgraduate or spouse open work permit or any kind of open work permit you find employment you get a job offer this job offer will lay down your terms and conditions will lay down your uh contract and terms of your employment and this is your basic job offer which is issued to you on the letterhead of the company this job offer is basically it it it just lays out your terms of employment second one is for example you are here in Canada on an lmia exempt closed work forit intra company transfer frankophone Mobility uh post dooc these kind of closed work permits which where lmas are exempt you do not need an lmia but these job offers are for a fixed duration of time uh it will say on the job offer that this job offer is uh for a period ending after 1 year 2 years 3 years and of course this job offer also will lay down your terms of employment your terms of contract in Canada however you can use this job this period of employment for your points in Express entry and in some cases for some immigration applications and pnps as well however they should comply with the conditions in Express entry if you are an intra company transfer if you're in a closed work permit uh which is issued based on the Mia exempt category this job offer should categorically have one specific Clause that this job offer is valid for one year after you become PR or after your PR Visa is issued or that this job offer is valid for an indeterminate period This is a condition this is a requirement in order for you to use this job offer for your 50 points or 200 points depending on your knock code for your Express entry applications the problem happens is when some employers refuse to include this clause or refuse to give you a specific job offer for you to be able to claim these points uh a lot of people will will will sign up a consultation asking what is the way out if there is a you know a different document that can be provided unfortunately there is no alternative there is no uh alternative document that you can provide in Li of this job offer you require this document this is a condition now I know there have been several people who have gotten away without providing this document without this Clause just by using their deputation letter or their contract letter that they have received uh but that doesn't apply to everybody and not everybody can get away could be a Visa officer while analyzing may have skipped the Clause may have not paid attention to it and that's a possibility because there is a bit of subjectivity involved but by and large we have equally seen applications being refused because this Clause was not being included and that becomes a problem now the third one is a PR supporting job offer now what does that mean now this job offer is given to you by employers who are supporting you for the PNP applications now depending on the province each province as you would all know has a different stream different program different criterias different requirements depending on which province you are your employer can give you a job offer and should be able to support you for your PR application would be able to support you for your nomination application uh so in addition to giving you just the you know the letter which will say your terms and conditions your job description your salary of work hours uh the employer first of all should be eligible by itself for that specific PNP program the employer should be willing to appear for an interview phone interview or whatever that might be if at all the province chooses to contact the employer the employer should be willing to sign an employer form in the case of Ontario or or nsnp 200 form as in the case of noas scum or as in the case of British Columbia should be willing to provide you with additional documentation uh as in the case of Ontario and of course in British Columbia should be willing to advertise for the position and prepare documentation and support you with the documentation that show that ample recruitment efforts were taken for this particular job and so on and so forth so these are the three main different types of job offers that you can look at and then of course then there is the lmia and lmia supporting uh job offer now this is pretty simple and straightforward if you get an lmia approved from the employer that by itself helps you but that should also be accompanied with a proper job offer and that job offer should also ideally include the Clause that this job offer is valid for 12 months or 1 year after you become a PR uh so that you can get your 50 or 200 points as the case may be I hope I have been able to explain to you the different kinds of job offer and as a pro tip I would like to sort of add to that that if you are in Canada on an open work permit and of course you're working full-time job you have a job unfortunately you cannot claim points for the job offer until and unless you have an lmia supporting job offer and that is the condition that is the requirement I hope this helps
