You are completing a consultation for a client, Probe Lamatique, who just received an ITA under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). When he submitted his Express Entry profile, he had a qualifying offer of employment based on a positive LMIA for which he received 50 points. He now advises you that he was recently laid off and no longer has a job offer. In fact, he is no longer employed at all. He asks you whether he can proceed with the ITA. Your advice to him is:

a) Advise him that his application will be refused summarily under IRPA, s.11.2.
b) Advise him that if his CRS score, without the job offer points, meets or is still higher than the lowest score in the round that led to his invitation, he can proceed with the ITA.
c) Advise him that proceeding with the ITA, even if he discloses that he is no longer working for the employer could result in him being inadmissible for misrepresentation, under IRPA, s. 40(1)(a).
d) Advise him that without the job offer he cannot continue to pursue his ITA as the CEC category requires a continued job offer.
