CEC Employment Question

[newmoon_h]

This may be a little silly question, but I have not found a clear answer to this so I decided to shoot in the forum. I'm an inland CEC applicant with 465 points. I am still working at the job that qualifies me for CEC (NOC B). This job is not related to the field that I studied, and I am also very tired of doing this for more than an year. I have decided to quit my job within two months to find something at my field. I am also expecting the EE cutoff score to come down within two-three months to 465. My question is, if I leave my job before I have received ITA/after received ITA and during PR processing, can they reject my application for not being employed? Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.

If you have already worked for a year then it doesn't matter till you work for a another full year before it impacts your CRS score. Unemployment should not be a hindrance in your PR application.

Your job needs to be in NOC O,A or B doesnt matter if its exact same field of your education.

Others already answered, I would just like to add that if you will be basing your application on that job don't forget that you will need a reference letter from that employer.

Thank you all for your reply. I got a job experience letter already from my manager on company letterhead. As far as my common sense goes, I also feel being unemployed would not be an issue since CEC is based on my past experience. However, I heard that you need to inform CIC if any situation changes. Say for example if I continue my work till I get ITA, but then I leave after I submit my application, will I need to inform CEC on that time?

Not required, as leaving a job would not change your CEC PR application. Although IRCC in some places says that you need to inform them when your status changes (i.e. leaving or changing job) it's just a generic messages without referring to a type of PR application. (Certain PNP PR application may require valid worker status in Canada).
