🛠️ IRCC Allows Job Change on Closed Work Permits (Updated May 2025)
Foreign workers in Canada on closed work permits can still change jobs or employers without waiting for a new permit—thanks to an extended temporary policy by IRCC.
Key Points:
Must be in Canada with valid status
Must have applied for a new/extended work permit
Must have a new job offer
Need to get IRCC approval before starting new job
