Hello,

Your lock in date was when you received your ITA. Any changes past that are inconsequential to your CRS score. It is perfectly safe to quit your job.

Technically you can quit your job after application was submitted. There shouldn't be any problems with that. Just some people would prefer to quit after they get ppr to ensure everything is ok.

You should inform immigration if you have a big change in your profile, ie: child birth, divorce, changing jobs, etc...

This is what is given in one of my communication mails from IRCC. Switching job is not listed though

***IMPORTANT***: You must inform this office immediately if any of the following changes apply to
your situation:
• Marriage or common-law union, divorce, annulment, legal separation;
• Death of the sponsor, the principal applicant or any accompanying family member;
• Birth or adoption of a child, including grandchildren born to dependent children;
• You, the principal applicant, or any of your family members have been charged or convicted of a
criminal offence in any country.

Make sure that you still maintain your proof of funds though. It can be asked at anytime during the process till landing.

small correction...not ITA...lock in date is from eAPR...

OP can quit his/her job but has to inform CIC... that wont definitely affect the application now... but he/she might be asked for proof of employment during landing...mostly FSWs do...

LuckyAngelSweety is correct...OP would need to inform CIC of any and all material changes to an application.. like child birth, divorce, etc, and also, employment..

Best wishes! ;)

Hi all,
I'm pretty new to this forum so forgive me if I don't understand the terminology and abbreviations :-[ My AOR was on 14th July I am inland however, I am concerned about my application as the cic have requested multiple documents, they have all seemed start with in order to process your application... but my latest one stated in order for us to make a decision... this was for my son and daughters updated passports as they expired in March 2017. I'm a little apprehensive as its only been 16 weeks since my AOR. Hopefully someone can shed some light on the matter

I don't exactly know what they are doing as I don't work for cic. But from what they requested (updated passports) it seems to be fine. Requiring documents usually happens when they are reviewing your eligibility, so it may still take some time to get your ppr. Also if you are pnp inland, it may take less time than the other categories for them to process your application. But again, these are my guesses based on other people's experience. I may be wrong. The best way to figure out what's going on is always to order notes from cic.
