Hello,
I was in Canada on a closed work permit and employed by a local subsidiary of a multinational company. Under my original employment contract with the parent company (in my home country), there was a 60-day notice period.
I have since become a permanent resident of Canada and continue working here. My question is:
• Which employment law framework applies to me now — the one tied to my original closed work permit and foreign contract, or the laws that apply to permanent residents/citizens in Canada?
• Specifically, for notice periods and termination, do Canadian labor standards fully override my old contract, or can the employer still rely on the 60-day clause?
Any references to Canadian (or Quebec, if it matters) government resources or legal texts would be greatly appreciated.
