Hi Everybody,

Recently my company has just changed its name and my title has been changed as well (Same reponsibilities). Will I need to let the officer that is processing my PR application know that this has occurred?

Did you get any document to officialize your change of job title and the change of company name? E.g., even if the company is the same, did you get a different offer letter or even just a document to notify the change of job title?
I don't know if there is an official answer to this, but if this happened to me, I would still submit this information to IRCC, even if it may not be strictly necessary. If you didn't get any official document, I would just ask one to the HR that mentions your new job title.

Also, if you are applying from inside Canada and working in Canada on a work permit tied to your company and to your role, you or your company may have to notify IRCC about this in the work permit as well. This doesn't apply to you if you are applying from abroad and you don't work in Canada, but I wanted to mention just in case.

Thanks for your advice! I decided to raise a CSE and let the officer know about the job title and company name change.

Hi there!

I don't know if you're still around, but what exactly did you mention in your CSE? Did you get a letter from HR? I'm in the same position as you. In addition, the website URL mentioned on my reference letter redirects to the parent company website, with no mention of the name change! There aren't any press releases mentioning this event either.

Would really appreciate any advice. Thanks.
