Can I change employers in Canada after getting a work permit?

If you hold an employer-specific work permit, changing employers requires a new work permit application and sometimes a fresh LMIA. For those on open work permits, you can switch jobs without applying for a new permit. Changing employers without following the rules may invalidate your status and affect future PR applications. Ensure you apply in time and maintain legal status during the transition. Consulting an immigration professional before changing jobs can save time and avoid mistakes.
