Hi,
I came to Canada to work for a tech company this year, I went through all the process to have an approved LMIA and get the work permit. This month the company had to make a lot changes on their projects to get different clients and I was laid off!
So, my work permit is valid for one more year and I was told that I need to change the conditions of my work permit to be able to work for another company, but I'm not sure if a new employer would need to apply to get a new LMIA for me. Anyone here had to change the work permit conditions and know how this process works?
You can't change the conditions of your existing work permit to allow you to work for a different employer. In order to work for a different employer, your new employer needs to obtain an new approved LMIA. You then need to apply for a new closed work permit. Once that work permit is approved, you can start working for your new employer.
