LMIA Closed Work Permit: Can I work remotely from another city?

[Taran D]

Unfortunately IRCC customer service and twitter give out incorrect information all the time. At least you have the written response confirming that you have explained your exact situation and someone at IRCC has said that you can work remotely from a different part of Canada irregardless of the location stated on your closed work permit. An agent ID number doesn’t mean anything and people should really get a written response via webform as proof to confirm any advice from IRCC and make sure to be very clear about all the details regarding their situation and question so there is no potential misinterpretation. Unless done in a DM most immigration situation would be tough to explain in full detail with limited characters and the IRCC twitter operator is really a social media specialist and has posted incorrect things very often so would always contact IRCC via webform for important information. There is a location specified on a closed WP for a reason or else it wouldn’t be posted there in the first place.

Thoroughly explained and I agree. Why to take the pain of hiring a staff member to immigrate to Canada when one can do work remotely from their homeland.

I called IRCC and also pinged them on twitter.
In both of the places, they said it's fine. I also noted down Agent ID from IRCC and reply on Twitter in case things go south. Please do something for yourself so that you have proof.

In my case, It was a DM not a publicly asked question.
Also, it may matter from job to job but I am a software engineer
