LMiA/E-APR/PR - Employment change, when?

[Thay]

Hi Everyone,

I'll enter the Express Entry pool soon, hopefully get my ITA in December or January. I am wondering when i can change my job? I want to switch to a completely different NOC, currently working under LMIA work permit. Do i need to get my PR Card physically or what? Please advise..

Once your PR application is approved and you receive the COPR. You can change your job right after landing. You do not need to get your PR card.

If you want to change your job before that, you need another LMIA for the new job.
