Hi
I recently received a LMIA exempt closed work permit from Nova scotia. My company is currently in Halifax and I am currently WFH in Halifax.
My company now wants me to move to Toronto as per business requirement.

1. Can I continue to work from Toronto on the same work permit. Did anyone had this scenario previously.
2. When I apply for PR, can I apply from Nova Scotia or Ontario or Both.
3. Can I apply for PNP's of Ontario or Nova Scotia.

Thank you in advance for your reply

Check the conditions on your work permit. Sometimes one cannot work anywhere other than designated employer and workplace.

Please check with your employer's attorneys they are the best folks to answer your question. In my company they never let us work remote from a different province

Agreed, moreover closed work permit have conditions. Employers just need work, they are least worried about an employee's status, so one have to take steps on their own and decide accordingly.
