Change Closed Work Permit to Open

[newcomer7]

Hello all,

Please advise on this: - a Closed Work Permit holder came to Canada to work but got fired when he stood up against the boss since the employer who hired him was treating him, and his friends as slaves.

He lost his job and has to work varied cash payments jobs until a new employer of a different kind of job realizes his great potential, and this new employer wants to hire him to work full time.

Were his cash-paying jobs will affect his application for an Open Work Permit?

Please advise.

Thank you in advance.

Scylla,
There are couples of potential employers wants to hire him to work in different kind of jobs. We learned that CIC had a new program to allow a foreigner to come to work under 2 categories: farming, or food industry. If they have full time job offer in these 2 categories for 3 years, then they will be eligible to apply to become Canada PR right? Please advice. Thank you.

Scylla,
Let say if this worker can get hired in a food industry job, can he apply to become PR later?

Hard to say. It depends on a number of things including which province, what kind of job, etc.

Scylla, this is in Southern Ontario cities...

Still very hard to say with such limited info. However generally speaking, in Ontario PR is only possible with a NOC A, B or 0 role. So if this is a NOC C or D role, assume PR in Ontario won't be possible.

Alright, Scylla, please help me to clarify these:

1-Is CIC has program to bring foreign labor worker to come to Canada to work in Farming, and Food Industry, after full 3 years of works, the foreigner can apply to become Canada PR?

2-How many provinces in Canada are running this program above, which help foreign worker after commit a certain working time in Canada, can apply to become a PR?

Thank you.

As already said, I haven't heard about this program.

All of the above sounds like something scammers say. Recommend you be very careful.

I vaguely remember reading something that sounds like what the o/p maybe is referring too. There was a CIC link but here I believe is the official government link

Dear All,

If you have a Closed Work Permit to work for only one employer, but got fired after you stood up for labor justice. Can you apply to change your C.W.P to Open W.P if there an employer likes to offer you a full time job? Please advise how to do this.

Thank you.

Your new employer needs to obtain an approved LMIA so that you can apply for a new closed work permit.
