Eligible For Points Under CRS With LMIA Exempt Work Permit

[Rajpal (Admin)]

The answer to your question depends on why your brother’s work permit is exempt from a LMIA. Under Express Entry, there are only certain LMIA-exempt jobs that would count towards job offer points. For example: if your brother is working in Canada on a LMIA-exempt work permit that was issued under an international agreement such as NAFTA or CUSMA, then his employer doesn’t need to get an LMIA for your brother to receive job offer points.

If your brother’s work permit is LMIA-exempt for any other reason, his employer will still need to get a LMIA in order to receive points.
