Hello @ll,

Has anybody apply for the new excemption that the Government has implemented to change employer during the COVID-19 situation?
There are some requirements to apply and I full filled all of them but I am in the last step of the PR, I sent the copies of our Passports on March 12 and according to the IRCC call centre my application has been approved but I do not have my COPR yet and I have a Big company interested in hiring me and they have already waited one month and I do not know if they will wait more or if I should try to apply to this Permit which in 10 days I can have it and I do not want to affect the PR which I think that it won't.

Applying won't have any effect on your PR app.

Why? An OINP job offer stream nominated with a closed WP can change jobs? Will this new job trigger a cancelation or withdrawn of the OINP nomination and therefore a PR rejection?
