Landed PR by Job Offer Employment, Can I switch employer?

[kmen]

Hi,

Is it possible to change employer or get another full time job as a landed PR?

Learned that this employer working with is complicated and can’t be dealt with. Maternity leave is not allowed cause employee got pregnant while on the process of PR.

However, employment contract was signed prior arrival. Is there any liabilities involved?
Was nominated by SINP for the PR approval.

Yes - you can certainly change jobs once you are a PR.

I was told that it will be reported to SINP cause of the contract of employment signed prior arrival.

Maternity leave cannot be denied regardless.

Maternity leave is based on hours you worked before you go on maternity leave. You must work 600 hours in the year before you have you baby to qualify for maternity payment. Maternity payments are only a fraction of your actual salary so it is important to save for maternity leave whether you qualify or not.

You are quoting the requirements for maternity EI. Actual maternity leave, i.e. being able to take time off to have a child with your job staying secure regardless of whether you qualify for EI, is different and legislated under the Canada Labour Code.

Very true. Given that the contract was signed when she was already pregnant I wanted to point out that she may not be able to accumulate the 600 hours to qualify for EI mat leave benefits.

I suggest you be clearer with your wording in future when referring to maternity EI payments and maternity leave.

Canada Labour Code only applies to industries regulated by the Federal Government. Otherwise it falls under Saskatchewan Labour Code

Yes, provincial labour codes can apply for maternity leave too, which is still very different from qualifying for maternity EI.
