Need info about WP

[saravraj5029]

Hi There,

I have got the WP visa from my current organization. They have spend the money to get the WP and I have got the work permit visa and its valid till Aug 2021.

Now my question is, if I change the organization will this visa valid or not? Shall i look for any other canada work opportunities with this WP visa ?

Sounds as though could be a closed work permit if so it only allows you to work for the organisation that supported the application. You would need a new permit to work for anyone else. Only if an open permit could you simply switch employers

You hold a closed work permit. It only allows you to work for your currently employer. If you want to switch employers, your new employer must obtain an approved LMIA and then you must apply for a new closed work permit.
