Hey all,

I'm planning to get a Young professional Visa through IEC. What happens with my "admittance" to Canada if I get fired / if I resign? Would I have to leave the country, or can I stay for the duration of the visa, or would it change into some sort of `visitor` visa (so I would be able to stay & travel in + out of the country)? I do understand I am not allowed to find a different job, but I'm mostly concerned about being in the country in the case of me getting unemployed.

Thanks a lot!

Hi

You can stay for as long as your work permit is valid. You don't need to change your status but as you've said yourself, you can't work for anyone else.
