Hi,

I am owning a CWP with an employer. My Spouse is owning an OWP.
Due to the employment challenges; employer is asking to leave the country even though the CWP is valid for next 9 months.
I wish to continue to work in Canada due to spouse maternal condition, I am planning to check the best options. needs direction.

a) Can I look for another employer with my CWP and having a new employer ready to offer job, is that movement possible?
b) Will I be able to stay in Canada, with the support of spouse OWP?
c) Will I be able to apply for OWP, staying in Canada and how long this process might take.

1. Yes, but you would require a new LMO and a new work permit before you start work.
2. Until your current work permit expires.
3. No.
