Closed WP: NOT AUTHORIZED TO WORK IN ANY LOCATION OTHER THAN STATED

[Nelson321]

Hello experts,

I am new to this forum but i am happy that I have found such useful platform. When I was looking at my closed work permit recently I found something and I am worried now.

I came to Canada few months back and my Closed work permit has three conditions

1. NOT AUTHORIZED TO WORK IN ANY OCCUPATION OTHER THAN STATED
2. NOT AUTHORIZED TO WORK FOR ANY EMPLOYER OTHER THAN STATED
3. NOT AUTHORIZED TO WORK IN ANY LOCATION OTHER THAN STATED.

I am working at client's office and Work Permit location has name of client office's city (Hamilton). So I am fine with that.

But my client has office in other city (Ottawa) as well and due to some requirements I am working at that office since last week and return back to current office

nect week or so.

Since my employer, client and job is same, I am not violating condition 1 and 2.
But I am working in Ottawa so have I done violation of condition 3?

Nobody asked me for my work permit at client location in Ottawa. My employer also did not tell me anything. Perhps nobody is aware of location related restriction.

Your answer will be of a great help.

Have a good day and thank you.

Is the fist office location (Hamilton) stated on the wp?

The OP has already said that.

Work Permit location has name of client office's city (Hamilton).

I asked the team at the border when I got my bridging permit which was location restricted also. I travel out of province to other work sites for the same company.

They said it was no problem as long as it wasn't a permanent move and it was with the same company.

I have the same question, my work permit says

NOT AUTHORIZED TO WORK IN ANY LOCATION OTHER THAN STATED

But at the port of entry while the officer was issuing me the work permit, he said you can work anywhere in Canada, we do not restrict workers in Canada, Immigration has made a mistake, do not pay heed to this line.

Not sure why he said that.
