Working to current employer on implied status with new employer

[Regdor]

I need help badly. Hope someone could be of advice...

My work permit will expire this november and i was already informed by my employer that my contract will no longer be renewed. But luckily, i got a new employer and lmo was applied and work permit extension with change of status considering the work permit is expected to come out next year, thus making my stay in canada under implied status. My concern is, can i work with my current employer after the lapse of my work permit consideing i have pending application for renewal but with other employer? Because if not allowed, that would mean that i would not be able to work after nov until the release of my new work permit perhaps in march? How am i supposed to afford the cost of living here without work for a couple of months? I will appreciate any expert advice in my case. Thanks...

You can't work with your new employer till you receive your new WP under the new employer.

Thank you for the immediate reply..but can i work for my existing employer while waiting for the work permit for new employer? I mean, my present employer will buy me ticket back to my home country prior to november. But since i got a new emplyer with pending wp application, do ii have to declare to my present employer that i will not leave canada, and can i continue to work with my present employer even after the lapse of my wp with them considering i am still a legal worker of implied status? Thank you in advance

Implied status is applicable only when you applied for the new work permit prior to the expiry of the current WP under the same conditions of your existing/valid WP. So having an application sent prior to the expiry of your current WP but under a different employer will not fall under "implied status."

If your WP is expiring within a month and LMO has not been received by the employer, you can send in application for the WP, attach a cover letter explaining that a LMO has been filed and you'll send the LMO once you received it (actually a call to CIC with the LMO File Number will suffice). Hopefully the LMO application is positive.

@job seeker. thank you sir. If I apply for the new WP before my existing permit expires even if the LMO is still on process, can I still be called under "implied status"?

Will I still be considered a legal worker in such a case? or I should not work at all until I receive the docesion.

I am not sure where you fall into. But you can't be working for the new employer till you get the new WP. And if the application is for a new employer then I don't think you can continue working for the current employer.

Sorry I can't say for sure what your status is, but if you had sent a WP application before your current one expires you don't have to send an application for restoration; but you can't work for either of the employers (old or new).

Thank you Sir for your reply. By the way, if I may ask, this EI, I searched it's Employment Insurance. Is it applicable for foreign workers? or for Canadian Citizens and PRs only? Thank you in advance...
