Hi. Please help.

I have 2 existing working permit. I applied with other employer and my working permit has been approved. I did not pursue my application with the new employer because my existing employer offered me to increase my salary just to stay with them. What will happen to the unused working permit. Will I get a trouble if in the future I will apply for a permanent residency? Thanks

I think your old work permit gets invalidated once you get the new work permit..

better to call CIC and conform with them..

Thank you for your reply. Even if I did not pursue the new one and I just continue the old one? Do I need to cancel the working permit that I did not use?

I have 2 valid work permits throughout most of my PR application and they are still both valid right now. This is completely fine.

Hi there, this is absolutely ok. You can have multiple valid work permits no issues ad they both are valid until the expiry dates on the permits. However you can only work for one employer at one time. There wont be any issue with your PR application. If you have any specific question you can send pm to me i can clarify, i was in the same situation and just landed as PR last weekend. So chill and dont worry.
