Hi!

So I'm an AINP nominee, I got an open work permit extension of my permit when I flag-poled (restricted only to Alberta), and I got my AOR already (The XEP** one). My AINP nomination also said no restrictions on employment.

I applied under employer-driven stream though, but again, both my nomination and my wor permit extension came without any restriction. Even the CIC guy at the border was like "I'm being nice here eh! Go get a better job".

I'm a project manager 0711, and if I change job would be to an Architectural office.

So, can I do it? Will I get in any problem? I have search treads and there is to much back and forth arguments. Specially "you got the nomination on an employer-driven stream". Yeah but got my nomination open, got my work permit extension open as well.

Please if anybody have come into this situation let me know, as I need to know whether I should stay put or go for it. Thanks
