Change of Employer with new LMO with old Employer Visa

[alexrira]

Hello
I am a Mexican National and live in Ireland. I obtained my Work Permit Visa from the London office summer of 2012.
I received a temporary work permit as a restaurant manager to work in Alberta, due to change of circumstances after I arrived to canada in the summer I had to return to Ireland and did not even start my new job and returned to Dublin.
Now I have received another job offer with a positive LMO. Can I travel back to Canada with my previous Visa which is still valid and re enter under my new job offer and LMO?
I just need to know if I can re enter and show CIC my new LMO and contract and ask them to change my Visa?
I do appreciate your advise.
Many Thanks
Alex

Hi - you need a new work permit based on the new LMO. You will also need a new TRV unless you have a valid multiple-entry TRV.

Hello and thanks for your reply.
I do have a valid Multiple entry visa in my passport? I guess that is my question. Do I need to get another VISA to enter?
I know that I will need a new work permit and need to get that at the port of entry, my question here is do I need to get another VISA to re enter the country as my visa is valid for another two years and is a multiple entry. your reply is very much appreciated
thanks
Alex

If your multiple-entry visa is valid, by all means use it. No need to get another one (defeats the purpose, right?)
