Change of employer

[cecapplicantjune]

Hi,

Under CEC do we have to notice, if one is under an open work permit and there is a change in employment (I changed employers) do we have to inform the visa office almost immediately or can I wait until I get my medical report from them and then I can send everything in at the same time. A bit about me, I got the AOR, submitted the police certificate. Between submission of my police certicate and now I changed employers but still havent informed the CIC. Can I wait until they send the meds before informing them?

Thanks

There is no need to inform CIC about a change in employers. The only changes that you must inform CIC about are
change in marital status or family composition, or change in mailing, residential, or email address. See FAQ #3.

Hey Jes,

I had the exact same question. I quit my current employer. I am also waiting on my MR. I was wondering if it is necessary to notify the visa office of my change in employment.

The link you said doesnt mention it but then the AOR I received from the CIO had this in there (highlighted the new employer part)

Please inform the visa office of any changes in your application (e.g. birth or adoption of a child, marriage or common-law relationship, new occupation or employer, change of address, change of e-mail address, change of immigration representative, etc). Please include a letter identifying what the changes are and any relevant supporting documents. If your documents are not in English or French, send a notarized (certified) translation with a copy of the originals.

In light of this do you think it is essential to inform the visa office of these details?

Thanks,

I think that's a generic AOL, but if it is worrying to you, go ahead and inform, it won't hurt either
