Canada's Point System: Arranged Employment

still on canada's point system...

having arranged employment at the time of your application will help you earn points. but unlike the other factors in canada's point system, this factor does not give you a range of points. it's either you get it or you don't. it's 10 points or nothing.

so how do you score 10 points?

a. you are currently working in canada and have a temporary work permit.
you can score 10 points if your work permit is valid at the time of your visa application and issuance and if your employer has offered to hire you indefinitely when your visa is issued.

b. you are currently working in canada in a job that does not require confirmation from the human resources and social development canada (hrsdc).
you can score 10 points if your work permit is valid at the time of your visa application and issuance and if your employer has offered to hire you indefinitely when your visa is issued. an example of such a scenario would be intra-office transfers.

c. you are not currently working in canada, do not have a work visa and have no plans of working in canada before your visa gets approved.
you can score 10 points if you are able to secure a full-time job offer which has been approved by the hrsdc and your employer offers to give you a permanent job when your visa is issued. you must also meet all required Canadian licensing or regulatory standards associated with the job offer.

In all the above situations, it is your employer's responsibility to obtain confirmation from hrsdc regarding a job offer.
