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!

Did you get an answer to this? Curious on the answer!

I don’t know has the answer to your question but a friend of mine almost 10 years ago came with a closed permit on an industry job. They stuck with the company until it was renewed but by that time they ensured with HR the new work permit they got was open. Then they got a job offer and moved to another company. I would just warn you about the potential risk of losing your immigration status while transitioning (don’t know how it works) with a closed permit.

Has anyone here considered leaving healthcare altogether? I am really drawn by a role in tech, but I know it's such a big leap. I have a friend who did this though, and she is making even more than I have made as a travel nurse. Is it an anomaly or a real possibility?

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?
