Keeping PR after accepting permanent job offer

[thejackson5]

Hi there,

I have been working under an employer in Montreal with my Canadian working holiday visa. He likes my work and wants to sponsor me as a permanent foreign worker.

Assuming all goes well and the job offer is approved, giving me Canadian permanent residency, three questions:
1. Is there a minimum length of time that I need to stay with this employer before switching jobs or simply quitting? In theory, could I quit this job the day after my PR is finalised, and stay a PR?
2. Does the answer to #1 change if the company goes under? I am working for a small startup without much job security. If everything is finalised, I am given my PR, and the company goes under the next day, do I get to keep my PR?
3. Apart from the answers to #1 and #2, and apart from the requirement of spending at least 2 years out of 5 in Canada, are there any other requirements (either federal or provincial) to maintain PR status that I should be aware of?

In case these questions seem suspicious, I want to clarify that I'm not planning anything nefarious like actually quitting the day after I get PR. I just want to obsessively make sure that I understand every little detail about my PR and how to avoid losing it, as I've worked for years to finally get to where I'm hopefully going to be in a few weeks in terms of immigration status.

Thank you!

I think you need to really do some research on becoming a PR. A job offer is not going to give you Permanent Residency. It is not that cut and dry
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada.html

You apply to become a PR thru one of the PR streams in the link above

What do you mean when you say that your employer wants to sponsor you as a permanent foreign worker ? Employers can submit a LMIA to the ESDC, to ensure that no Canadian or PR can do the job BEFORE it is offered to a foreigner. That costs$1000 and takes 3-4 months. That is a closed work permit, you are restricted to only that employer, no one else, but it does NOT make you a permanent resident
Him liking your work, does not guarantee that you will be authorized a positive LMIA
I see you started your WHV back in May/2018, how long is it authorized for ?

If you receive PR based on this LMIA job offer, then you are not required to remain with that employer at all. You can potentially quit on the same day.
