This depends. If you have not yet applied for PR, your employer will have to get an LMO for you, to apply for a new work permit.

If you have already applied for CEC and have received your AOR, you could apply for a bridging work permit. This does not require any effort from your employer, and is an open work permit (you can find a new employer).


2. What happens if i lose my current job? will still application is processed?

CEC application does not require you to be employed at the time of application or during processing. So if you meet the requirements, you are eligible whether or not you lose your job. The only thing is, you must apply within 1 year of ending employment in Canada.

Thanks alot for your reply.

Just wondering, what is the AOR?
How much IELTS score is required to apply under CEC category?

Thanks

AOR = Acknowledgement of Receipt. It's basically an email with a file # that you get once CIC receives your application. You can track your application with your file #.

For NOC 0, A positions, you need to have a score of at least CLB 7 for all four categories
For NOC B positions, you need to have a score of at least CLB 5 for all four categories.

Below is how you convert your actual scores into CLB Levels:

When is your work permit ending? How soon is "soon"?

If you are lucky, most people receive their CEC AOR within 1 to 1.5 months of sending in their complete application (however, preparing the documents to send in with it, like taking an IELTS exam, etc... will take longer). As soon as you get your AOR, then you can quickly apply for this http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2012/ob485.asp (in which case, you won't need your employer to do a LMO for you). You will get an open work permit with this, which means you can work with any employer you want.

Thanks alot for your reply.
I'm going to apply under NOC 0 A position, which means CLB 7 and it means that my IELTS speaking, writing, listening and reading should not be less than 6? is that correct?

Just to make double sure.!!!

@shells

Really thanks alot for pointing this one. )

I think my work permit will end first(since i have to take POC and IELTS exam and send the documents). So i have to apply work permit extension with my company first.

I'm just wondering what will be process in the below step.

Say i extend my work permit with my employer for now . Say i get it for 1 year with closed work permit with my employer.
After that I apply CEC and get the AOR .
Say if my lose my current job after getting AOR, Is there will be any problem in getting new open work permit using this AOR??

Thanks in advance.
