Hi All,

I am back again with new query :).

I have been working with one client sine 3 years. I made good team and friends at my present work place. Unfortunately, my employer has rejected the contract with the client this year because of some money concerns.

Now, since I have good name and good friends in the current project I want to join directly with my client. I know it is not possible directly to move from my present employer.

1. If my client applied LMO for me then Can i apply for transfer instead of applying new work permit unless both are same process?

Please give me more information on what I can do in this situation. Thanks everyone.

You need to reapply your new work permit with your new employer. Your work permit clearly specify that u can only work with your employer that stated in your permit.
