Thanks for the detailed reply. One more question: If an employer withdraws the job offer, then how much time does a person have to find another job (with work permit) or to stay in Canada without the job offer?

If Your Employer Withdraws the Job Offer
This has two major impacts:
1.
Effect on Your PR Application
  • Your OINP nomination is employer-specific.
  • If the job offer is withdrawn before you get your PR approval, your nomination becomes invalid.
  • IRCC may refuse your PR application, even if you’re at a late stage (e.g., eligibility passed), because the nomination no longer meets the requirements
2.
Effect on Your Work Permit and Status in Canada
There are two common types of work permits in this situation:
A.
OINP-Supported Employer-Specific Work Permit
If you are on a closed work permit tied to the employer who withdrew the offer, you must stop working immediately.
  • However, you can remain in Canada legally until the permit expires, but cannot work.
  • B.
PGWP or Open Work Permit
If you’re on a PGWP or open work permit, the job withdrawal does not affect your legal status or ability to stay or work elsewhere.
  • However, it may still impact your PR application if the nomination is no longer valid
How Much Time Do You Have to Fix It?
You need to act immediately
Contact OINP right away and inform them of the situation.
  1. If you find a new employer in the same NOC and similar role, you can request a nomination amendment or re-nomination.
  2. OINP might allow this if the new employer meets all eligibility criteria, but there’s no guarantee.
 
Hello @Miss bee,

From February to April 2025, I worked 32.5 hours per week. However, as of May 1, 2025, I have resumed working full 40 hours per week.
Could you please confirm if I need to formally update OINP regarding this change?

I Already applied for PR Last year November(Non Express Entry)

Thank you again, Miss bee. The situation isn’t exactly like that, but there’s a possibility it could arise, so I’m exploring different options. Even if I receive an open bridging work permit, it might still be tied to my employer due to the nomination, which could limit my ability to work elsewhere or that would not be the case in the case of BOWP and i can work for other company.
