goodmorning everyone , i need some advice
Recently I changed my working permit, from a cement finisher to metal worker,
But do I have the right to work for both companies? When I changed the working permit? Both of them are a close working permit.
Because ,theres no work for the company am working right now ,is it possible to work for the other one despite changing the working permit?is it accepted by Canadian law ?

Thanks hope to hear from you soon :D

No, only your latest work permit is valid. Note it says may only work for the above noted employer.

Hi,
If you find some work from your previous employer again, you can continue to work for both employers...as ur work permit eligibile to work on same SIN(Social Identification Number)...dont worry...go ahead

And of course you are going to bail him out of CBSA custody, if he gets picked up working for the first employer without a valid WP?

Hi
I meant to say that still his old work permit is valid....because his old employer has got some work to provide him...

No it isn't, his second closed work permit, supersedes his previous closed work permit.
