Do you have a closed work permit or open work permit?

An open work permit does not have employer name specified on it which means that you can work for anyone.

If your work permit was supported by your previous employer - then it's almost certain you have a closed work permit and can't use it to work for anyone else.

An open work permit does not have employer name specified on it which means that you can work for anyone.

Actually in my work permit I have only following options below

Issued At
Dateofissue
Expiry date
No.of entries
Document no
Category
Name
Surname
Passport number
Persons
C.Rec
These are the options available in my work permit there is nothing like employeer

This sounds like a visa and is not a work permit.

A visa does not define who you can work for. it's just for entry purpose. You need to disclose the details on your work permit for us to determine whether you can work for another employer. The work permit is the big letter sized paper.

Sorry! I might misunderstood your situation. If you have not traveled to canada, it is likely that your work permit is a closed one. which means you may not be able to work for another organization without updating the information with the CIC or reapply. But I am not completely sure.

"Work Permit" is a special letter-sized paper which is not sticked on your passport and it defines details of what kind of work you can do and who you can work for. It is not the "VISA" sticked to your passport. They usually issue Work Permit upon your first arrival to Canada at the port of entry.
