Stop multi posting.
If you want to change employers you need a new LMIA from that employer, and then apply for a new closed work permit.

Who is suing whom? Do you meant your employer? Your employer wouldn’t sue you but can let you go if they think you are leaving. And then you may be out of a job with no new LMIA or work permit.

If you leave now, you cannot work. You must change your status to a visitor.

Just another comment. If you get a new LMIA, and apply for a closed work permit. The work permit may be refused. It is not guaranteed.

Hey, may I ask you some question about the LMIA?
I have the familiar problem but not the same one. I have received one employee’s LMIA number, but I didn’t apply for the work permit. I still in the foreign country, I plan to arrive at Canada next year. But now another employee who is my prefer give me offer, may I ask the new employee to apply the LMIA, and I use the new LMIA number to apply my work visa.
In conclusion, may I have 2 LMIA before I submit the application of visa?

Your new employer must pay the $1k and file for the LMIA. If approved then you can apply for a closed work permit. You can have 2 LMIAs.

how much does the first employer pay? $1k?
And will the new employer know that I have already received a LMIA offer? Thank you very much.

LMIAs cost $1k not including costs for posting jobs, interviewing, filing out paperwork. Employer will not know if you have a LMIA.

Hi everyone!
I have a 24-month contract, a month has passed since its start and there is still no news about my visa. I want to ask if my visa and work permit will be issued according to the contract or 24 months from the date the visa will be issued? For example, if it is issued by the date that my contract is written, should I apply for a work permit extension for the period that has passed?
