Hi All,
I have a Permanent Residence (PR) application currently being processed by IRCC under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), Non-Express Entry stream. I applied through the NLPNP, and my nomination was based on having a job in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Recently, I received a new job offer. Before accepting it, I consulted with the province to ensure the change was allowed. I was advised that I can change employers as long as the new position is within the same or higher NOC TEER level. The provincial officer requested a copy of the new job offer and a completed form from my employer in order to issue an updated nomination certificate. Once I receive that, I was instructed to submit it to IRCC via webform to notify them of the job change.
I officially started the new job on Monday, March 31, 2025, and I’m currently waiting for the required documents from my new employer.
However, on Thursday, April 3, I noticed the following updates on my application:
Gckey Account update :
Final decision
IRCC Tracker :
Confirmation of Permanent Residency (COPR) details
When you’re approved for permanent residence in Canada, you'll get a Confirmation of Permanent Residence document. Below are details about this document.

Document number:
T*********
Expiry date:
*******, 2026
Travel document number:
Issuing country:

From what I understand, this means my PR application has been approved and the COPR has been issued. Given that the decision appears to have been made 3–5 days after I started the new job, I have a few questions:

From what I understand, this means my PR application has been approved and the COPR has been issued. Given that the decision appears to have been made 3–5 days after I started the new job, I have a few questions:
- Am I still required to notify IRCC of my job change at this stage, considering the final decision and COPR have already been issued?
- Could informing IRCC now affect my application in any way? For example, could it trigger a reassessment of eligibility based on the new job?
- If I submit the updated nomination now, would that cause any delay in the PR confirmation process (e.g., receiving P1,) ?
- If I receive P1 email before getting the nomination do I submit my photo and confirm my address and submit the nomination whenever I get it ?
I’d appreciate any guidance on how best to proceed.
regards,
