If you receive a job offer from a Canadian company, your visa
application process will be much easier!
I strongly recommend obtaining a job offer from a Canadian company
before submitting your visa application. If you can get this
document, it will not only help you settle easier in Canada , but
it will also increase your Pass Mark assessment.
Let me explain the way a job offer will help you increase your
Pass Mark assessment:
You will receive 10 points if:
– You have a permanent job offer in Canada . However, please
note that this offer has to be confirmed by Human Resources and
Skills Development Canada (HRSDC).
If you are already in Canada (with a temporary work permit), and
you decide to apply from within the country, you will also receive
points in the following situations:
You will receive 10 points if:
– Your temporary work permit was issued after receiving a
confirmation of a job offer from Human Resources and Skills
Development Canada ; – Your temporary work permit was
exempted from the requirement of a issued after receipt of a
confirmation of your job offer from HRSDC (due to an international
agreement).
Also if it represents a relevant benefit to Canada or its
competitiveness (i.e. intra-company or post-graduate work
respectively).
I recommend visiting the following website for further information
about the specific requirements for these situations:

It is very important that you understand this process, in case you
are interested in using a Canadian job offer in your application.
First of all, what is The Department of Human Resources and Skills
Development (HRSD)?
This Department has a very specific objective: to ensure that all
the Canadians have the right elements and tools to succeed in the
Canadian workplace.
To achieve this objective, one of the main duties of this
Department is to make sure that all the foreign workers support the
Canadian economic growth. Foreign workers are very important for
the Canadian economy!
For this reason, this Department is responsible of ensuring that
the right Skilled Workers are hired by the Canadian companies.
Let me explain what the Canadian companies have to do to make a
permanent job offer to a Skilled Worker (I hope that is your case,
you will earn 10 points!).
Basically the companies have to options:
1.They can submit an application for an HRSDC labour market
opinion (normally called LMO). This is one of the requirements that
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) takes into consideration
when they evaluate your visa application.
2.The companies can also submit an application for an HRSDC
arranged employment opinion (normally called (AEO).
A positive AEO will also be extremely important when your visa is
processed. However, the AEO does not allow the person to work in
Canada before the Permanent Residence visa is accepted and issued.
If you have already contacted a Canadian company, and they are
interested in giving you a job offer, I suggest letting then know
that the following two websites will be very useful.
– To apply for the LMO :

apply for the AEO:

See you in Canada !
