Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change employers with a closed work permit?

A closed work permit is usually tied to a specific employer, meaning you cannot switch jobs without going through official steps. Working for a different employer without proper authorization would breach the conditions of your permit.

To change employers with a closed work permit, you must:

Get a new job offer: You must have a valid new offer from a different employer.
Obtain a new LMIA (if required): The new employer may need to secure a Labour Market Impact Assessment.
Apply for a new permit: Submit a new work permit application online through IRCC before starting your new job.
Wait for approval: You must receive your new work permit before you can begin working elsewhere.

It is possible to change employers with a closed permit, but the process can be complex. For expert guidance, contact our Immigration Lawyers in Montreal at Brunel Immigration.

Work in Canada: obtain an open or closed work permit, navigate the LMIA process, and comply with employment conditions with comprehensive support from Brunel Immigration .
