I am also under the same situation. This is what I believe, there are 2 different situations:
1. You had more than 1 year experience under NOC 0,A,B and applied for PR. You then got your invitation, and sent a letter from your employee proving that you worked there or having been working there for more than 1 year, you got the points. Done!! there is no attachment between you and your company, no LMIA, no sponsor, no Closed Work Visa. You are Free to go.

2. You asked your company to sponsor you, give you LMIA for PR or for a work vista, or anything that may have you attached to your company, then you can't leave until the process is ended.

My concern about #1 is that if you leave, and by any chance IRCC/CIC ask you for any extra document about your process that may require the help of your company again, there is a good chance they won't give it to you. Thats why is so hard for me to decide to leave.

what if a person applied under provincial nominee and approved then applies to express entry can he switch his job

Based on what I know, if you lose or leave your job and you become unemployed, you will have to notify IRCC of this, as losing your job will involve a recalculation of your score. If you lose too many points, you may risk. If your new score is below the minimum score accepted for Express Entry draw the time you got selected, your application may be rejected.

Even if your new score is still above the threshold for your EE draw, I believe you may still experience some delays in your application processing, but probably nothing more than that.
How come if he applied under express PNP it may possible but CEC category he got points already from the past experience then how come if he quit the job now affects his PR application?

Have you received an ITA? If so no, you are not eligible for an open work permit since you have one year left on your closed work permit. You can only apply for a BOWP within 4 months of expiry.

One cannot have a valid job offer on a PGWP.
Hello DelPiero07,

I am in the same situation my file is under process CEC inland, AOR April 3rd 2021.

I am on PGWP, now I have a new offer from an employer-based from Gatineau Quebec,

They are expecting me to commute to the office once things are normal.

My current application status is criminality passed, I am wondering if I can accept this offer move to nearby Ottawa, commute to the office till I get COPR?

Also, once I have accepted the offer, should I update about this to IRCC or should I update once I have moved to a new address from the current address to commute to the office?

Please help, Thank you.

What permit are you on? Did you claim points for the job?

If you claimed points then you can’t leave your job until you have received PR. If you don’t claim the points would you still have received ITA?
