Work you have actually done goes in [Work experience](/individuals/profile/work-experience/) instead — the two are separate records and one does not create the other. Job offers in Lexpoint are Canada-only. The form asks for a Canadian city and fills the province in from it; there is no country picker. ```media id: profile-job-offers-list type: screenshot caption: The job offers list with the summary tiles above it and one offer marked primary. shot: /app/profile/job-offers — list view with two offers, one primary.

Selecting one fills in Job Title. | Yes | | **Job Title** | The title as written on the offer. Pre-filled from the NOC selection; you can edit it. | Yes | Once a NOC is chosen the section shows a **NOC Information** panel with the code, title, and TEER level, and a **Program Eligibility** panel. The info icon opens the full NOC detail with duties, requirements, and the program list. ## Section 3 — Terms | Field | What it means | Required | |---|---|---| | **Offer Date** | The date printed on the offer letter — today or earlier, not a future start date. | No | | **Permanent job offer** | Toggle. The helper text reads *Required for most permanent residence programs*. | No | | **Has LMIA** | Toggle — a Labour Market Impact Assessment supports this offer. | No | | **LMIA Number** | Appears when Has LMIA is on. | No | | **Job Offer Number** | Appears when Has LMIA is on. Marked *Optional* in the form. | No | ## Section 4 — Pay | Field | What it means | Required | |---|---|---| | **Work schedule** | Hours per week, between 1 and 168. Helper text: *How many hours you will work each week. Full-time = 30+.* | Yes | | **Hourly pay rate** | Your wage in Canadian dollars per hour. Noted in the form as an OINP compliance input. | Yes | | Full-time | Not a field you set — Lexpoint marks the offer full-time when the work schedule is 30 hours or more. | Derived | After you enter a NOC and a city, the Pay section loads a wage benchmark for that occupation and location and shows whether your hourly rate meets the **median** and **low** reference wages. ```media id: profile-job-offer-pay-benchmark type: screenshot caption: The Pay section showing the wage benchmark for the selected NOC and city alongside the entered hourly rate. shot: /app/profile/job-offers/new → Pay section, with a NOC and Canadian city already selected so the benchmark panel has loaded.

On the list, the primary one sorts to the top and carries a **Primary job** chip; any other offer shows a **Make primary** action. Your first Canadian offer can be made primary at no cost. Switching primary away from an offer once you have more than one Canadian offer requires ImmiReport Pro — the attempt opens the upgrade dialogue rather than failing silently. The same gate applies to deleting an offer that is currently primary. What the primary offer actually drives is covered on [Your primary job](/individuals/profile/primary-job/). The primary offer also carries an **Employer eligible** switch, labelled with the nominee-program abbreviation for that offer's province. It is a self-declared flag for provinces whose pathways assess the employer, and it appears only on the primary offer. ## Adding and editing 1. Open [**Profile → Job Offers**](https://my.lexpoint.io/app/profile/job-offers). 2. Select **Add Job Offer**. 3. Work through Employer, Role, Terms, and Pay. The last section's button saves. 4. Back on the list, the pencil icon reopens an offer and the bin icon deletes it. Some offers show a locked bin icon with the note *Synced — edit in Work History*. Those records originate from a work history entry and are edited there. ## Related - [Your primary job](/individuals/profile/primary-job/) — what the primary offer changes and what it does not - [Work experience](/individuals/profile/work-experience/) — for work you have already done - [How your profile is used](/individuals/profile/how-your-profile-is-used/) — what recalculates when you add an offer ## Frequently asked questions ### Can I record a job offer from outside Canada? No. The job offers form is Canada-only — it asks for a Canadian city and derives the province from it. Work done outside Canada belongs in Work experience instead. ### Why is the offer date rejected when I enter my start date? Offer Date is the date printed on the offer letter, not the date the job starts. Lexpoint requires it to be today or earlier and rejects any future date. ### Why can I not switch which offer is primary? Your first Canadian offer becomes primary without restriction. Switching primary to a different offer once you have more than one requires ImmiReport Pro.
