Hi all

I currently live and work in Ontario with a Work Permit but I'm thinking of moving to Quebec.
Is this allowed? I would be working remotely for the same employer and commuting regularly into Ontario.

My work permit states "Not authorized to work in any location other than stated", does this mean I have to live where I work?

Thanks!!

As it is stated in your work permit "Not authorized to work in any location other than stated", simply you cannot work in Quebec for the same employer.

In order to work in Quebec, besides a new work permit, you will need to apply for CAQ as well, unless your job is LMIA exempted.
