My employer brought me here in 2021 by giving me a closed work permit which is valid for 2 years i.e. till Aug 2023. I worked for them until today and the employer laid me off stating that they are terminating my position for business-related decisions.
I immigrated here as a skilled worker through a global talent stream (fast-track) program and then the employer fired me. I want to live here and work. My family is already here and my daughters are going to school in Toronto. If I have to return to my home country India that will be a big hit for me and my daughter's future.
I have already applied for OINP a few months ago based on the job offer I had.
I am also waiting for my express entry ITA. In my express entry profile, I have mentioned that I am working in Canada for more than a year and I have a job offer from the same employer sponsoring my LMIA. But now, since I am laid off, does my express entry profile lose all the employment-specific points? Losing 50 points will be catastrophic for my future here and I doubt that I will get selected for any express entry/CEC or any PNP programs.
How can I change the conditions of the work permit? can I apply for BOWP? or is there any other way?
NOTE: I know that finding a new employer would change the conditions of my WP but I am not getting one who can sponsor that.
Search for a job ASAP. The market is bad but it's not that bad in Canada. If you're willing to take a pay cut, jobs are still available. All the best. And yes unfortunately your OINP nomination is invalid and so is the 50 points of EE unless you get a new job on a closed permit.
my employer brought me here as skill workers in sep 2022, i applied for PR at end of September, the company laid off me at the end off January, 2023 without cause, i become in april pre-arrivel letter for PR, and i become EI support, can es effect my PR application and withdraw it in BC

You can remain in Canada as long as your work permit is valid but cannot work for a new employer with that work permit. If you want to switch to a new employer, that employer needs to give you a job offer and approved LMIA and then you need to apply for a new closed work permit.
I have to look for new employer who can sponsor me through LMIA. I had to withdraw my PR application too. Not many options for me. What happened with you ?
