hi is it legal to work here in canada if you have still work permit but you work at different employer? Coz i know some people At my workplace they still work but their emplyer is not indicated to their work permit
Work permit different employer
- Thread starter Michelline
- Start date
Example their work permit is in food store, after a year she/ he quit the job. And now he/she working at other employer without work permit for employer
If the work permit has conditions specifying the employer name, this is a restricted (aka "closed") work permit and the work authorization is only for the employer named in the WP.Michelline said:
If the holder of this WP quits this job, and goes on to work for another employer - then he/she does not have authorization to work for the new employer. They cannot use the old/restricted WP to work for another employer.
Unless she/he is a holder of an open work permit (no conditions specified on the workpermit, no employer listed as part of the conditions) - he/she is currently working without authorization.

Re: Lmia processing
You have two choices. If you think that your LMIA will be approved before the 90 day mark, then you can wait for the LMIA to be approved, and then apply to restore your status back to a work permit.
If you think it is going to take longer than the 90 day period to obtain an approved LMIA, they you should apply to restore your status and also change your status to visitor.
If your work permit has expired, then you are out of status in Canada and should technically leave the country. However you actually have 90 days from the time your work permit expired to restore your status. After that it will be too late and you will in fact have to leave Canada.Michelline said:
