I am a software engineer, landed in Canada last month. I have a closed work permit until Aug 2023. I want to change the company(low wage/pay). I understood that the new employer should fill a new work permit for me.

I am confident that I am technically sound to clear in any interviews. The technology that I am working on is currently at its high.

I need your advice on the following queries

  1. Would any company even consider hiring me? And help me with a new work permit considering the current resource demand?
  2. If my new employer is ready to process the work permit, can I continue to work in my current job until the new work permit is processed parallelly?
  3. How long does it take them to process the new work permit? I have 2(two) month notice period with my current employer.
  4. Does it even make sense to switch the employer? My current employer is promised to support me in the PR process after a year.
