EE-BCPNP lost my job

[Liamhefu2]

Hi I gained bcpnp through my employer and almost been waiting for 6 months for my pr (since Feb)

Unfortunately I think im getting layed off while I'm still waiting on pr

Is there a way I can change employers or get them to take over my sponsorship without starting the whole process again

Ps my pnp work permit is closed and tied to my original employer

Unfortunately not. You would need a new LMIA, work permit, and start the process again. You will lose your PNP application if you lose your job since it's tied to your job.

Have you tried speaking with the company HR department in regards to your situation?

Unfortunately not. You would need a new LMIA, work permit, and start the process again. You will lose your PNP application if you lose your job since it's tied to your job.

Even if I get a new job with the exact same title?

Yes, even then. Your Work Permit is linked to your employer - and so is your PNP.

It's a construction company and my boss is very difficult..the girls in the office are nice but unfortunately it's him that calls the shots

By any chance do you now qualify under the Canadian Experience Class? Do you have one year of work experience in Canada?

 

[Liamhefu2]

I read online somewhere that you had 45 days to find a new employer to take over your sponsorship.
I didn't go through lmia i don't think

I do but the reason I needed bcpnp was I didn't have the points otherwise.

My job was carpentry

You probably did. I don't see how you were LMIA exempt, but if you are, then you should know about that.

How did you get your job? How did you initially come to Canada?

And if you're a carpenter, do you have journeyman certification + Red Seal endorsement in Canada? You may then qualify under Federal Skilled Trades, which often has much lower points requirements.

I originally came to Canada on iec 2 year visa then done bcpnp through a job offer with my company
No I don't have certificate just experience

Yes, IEC visas are LMIA exempt, but that doesn't change the fact that your work permit will no longer be valid since it's employer specific. And since the work permit is not valid, your PNP application will be rejected.

Your best option is to try and not lose the job.

Also, I don't know of any 45-day rule. I'm not an expert so there certainly may be such a rule - if you can link to where you read it I can look it up as well. I searched a bit but didn't see anything.

More experienced people may also respond, so wait a couple of days.

Regardless, you should still speak with him as this will hugely affect your life. Try to come to an agreement of some sort (maybe fewer hours/different site/lower pay).
