We are currently on a work permit in Canada. I have got a new job and the new employer has just applied for a lmo and then the work permit will be applied. If I leave my current job, how long can we stay in Canada, as it will take about 2 - 3 months before the new employer gets the new work permit.

Thanks

You can stay up to the expiry of your current WP.

Thanks job_seeker,

One more question. My current work permit says that I can only work with my current employer. Would this mean that we have to leave the country if I leave the job with my current employer.

Cheers

No. When you receive your new LMO send your app to CPC-Vegreville.
