Hello,

I have a closed work permit and applied for a change of employer. My application has been accepted on May 23rd and I received a letter from CIC today saying that my new visa will be sent by mail within 6 weeks.
Online, my old visa status says : Not valid, and the new one : valid.
I am a bit confused regarding where I should be working now, legally. Am I supposed to stay at the old job until I get my new paper visa, or can I start the new one already ?
