For applicants on an Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) work permit hoping to claim the valid job offer points in their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score:
- You generally need to complete 1 year of work in Canada on your ICT work permit before you can claim the job offer points under this category.
- Confirm your employer's offer extends far enough. If you started work partway through a year, check whether your employer has offered (or will offer) a continuation of your role for a full year from your start date — without a full year completed and confirmed, the points typically don't apply yet.
- Double-check current rules before relying on this, since CRS point criteria and program details can be updated by IRCC — verify against the official Express Entry criteria rather than assuming this is still exactly accurate.
- If you haven't hit the 1-year mark, plan to wait until you finish that year with your employer before submitting your EE profile update or application claiming these points.
The key takeaway: job offer points on an ICT work permit are generally tied to completing a full year of Canadian work experience with that employer, not just having an active offer.
