Hi all,

Posting for a friend.

She is currently at a Big4 on a closed work permit sponsored by her employer. She moved to the Canadian practice as part of an intra-company transfer. Is she allowed to look for a new job? Can a new employer sponsor her work permit again?

Thanks!

It is possible to switch if she has special skillsets that Canadians & Permanent Residents don't have. While job hunting, she has to be upront with recruiter though and tell them they have to sponsor her work permit to avoid being screwed. Am not familiar with the whole process but an IRCC regulated consultant can help (not the useless call center agents!). No need for a lawyer.

Your new employer would just need to apply for a new work permit on your behalf.

Reference: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/permit/temporary/extend/change-jobs-employers.html#

She can look for a job just that the new employer has to apply for a fresh closed work permit, as this process is very time consuming most Canadian employers don’t go down that path but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. However she needs to be prepared for a very long time and frustrating turn around time as all Canadian visa/WP timelines are haywire these days. Happy to help if you have more questions.

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit).

I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc
