[Rahulvaid]

hi, need to know can I leave my job after becoming PR, I got extra 600 points with this LMIA, M I legally bound to work with the employer even after getting PR status, I have been working from past 4 months and I became PR 2.5 months back

Thanks in advance

LMIA job offer is only a guarantee letter by your employer and approved by service canada, which says they will give you a job on certain payrate after you become permanent resident. It is just to show the Gov. that you will not be unemployed and an extra burden on the Gov. rather will constitute to the tax income for the Gov.But, nowhere it bound you to stay with the same offer of employment. As a permanent resident you are entitled to practice your occupation anywhere in Canada.
