I need some help please! My boyfriend is from Britain and has been working in Vancouver as a skilled worker for over two years (he received one extension on his work visa). About 3 months ago, he was laid off and switched employers. He failed to change his conditions on his visa (he was sponsored by the company that laid him off). He wants to change his conditions (the new employer will sponsor him, no problem) but is afraid immigration will deport him since he started work before changing his visa conditions (has been at the new job for about 3 months). Has anyone had experience with this situation? His initial work visa expires in June and we want another extension. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Yes lots of it,File the extension request and Change of Conditions Now,Just assisted a Mexican last week in the same situation
Is there any way around getting a ban? It was just stupidity, not done on purpose. We would not have been able to pay our rent if he had been out of work for a month and it wasn't until we started to look into extending the visa, did we notice the discrepancy.
Should I explain this situation, or just go ahead and file for a change of conditions/extension?
