I've just received the 120-day letter for our application for permanent residence under the skilled worked class and have a query about "arranged employment". The guide states that you don't need to supply proof of funds if you have "arranged employment" in Canada, but I fully expect to continue to be employed by my current employer (UK-based office with a US office Seattle) because I already work from home and we already have an office in the same time zone just across the border.

However, I have contacted the Canadian High Commission twice now via email to ask if this counts as "arranged employment", but their first reply only commented on the importance of submitting all documentation on time and the second reply ended with: "Regarding Arranged employment offer, please see our immigration guide", which is not particularly helpful.

So, does anyone know if my situation of continued employment counts as "arranged employment" for the purposes of this application?

Many thanks,
Derek.

You will need to submit a letter from your company confirming your continued employment in Canada

Hi

Probably not considered arranged employment since it is a UK company with a US office, not a Canadian company.

I thought that might be the case. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. Are you speaking from experience, or just making an educated guess?

Hi

A very educated guess, Regulation 82 speaks of Canadian employers, there is no Canadian employer in your case.
