My current employer applied for an LMIA to grant me enough points to be invited to apply via Express Entry.
I wanted to know if I can change employers once I get that LMIA or once I submitted my PR application?
I just dont know if that will affect my profile or application.
Or should I stay with my current employer until my PR status is granted?

Thank you

You should stay with the employer until PR is granted.

Any reason behind it?
I'm not sure. That's just the answer I've seen on the forum when other people have asked the same question.

You certainly can't leave the job before you submit your application; your additional 600 points are based on a LMIA-supported job offer, not the LMIA itself.
