Hello,

I am just wondering what will happen if I loose the job if I am on the young Professional visa in Canada?
DO I get the chance to find another job or do I have to leave Canada or can I just stay without working at all?
And can it be also a part time job or does it has to be a full time job?

And another thing:If I have a job can I also work for cash for another job or is it not legal?

okay I think that's all :)))))))))))
thanks

1. You can stay without working if you lose your job.
2. For another job, an employer would have to obtain a LMO and you would have to apply for a work permit. They only issue LMOs for full time work.
3. You work for cash, and get caught, CBSA sends you home.

1. Yes, I am sure about the LMO, Young professional's work permits are only issued for a specific employer. Usually only 1 YPWP is allowed for most countries, you need a LMO to change employers.
2. Yes, a work permit is just a visitor permit, with permission to work. In your case only at a specific employer .
